That problen was NOT posted before, since I placed the pawn on b7 instead of b6 on purpose, therefore, totally diffent but with the same solution.
The problem I mentioned also has the pawn on b7 (look at my EPD that you posted. Second row has second chessman a pawn).
It is the original problem that has the pawn on b6. But the problem I posted is also found in one my my test sets (Tactical Insanity, revision e). Hence the id for the problem of :
id "TI-e.073"
Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.
