4403. Wolfgang DITTMANN

solution:
-1.Rd6-d1!        (threating -2.Bc5-a7 and 1.Rd8#)
-1. .....   Rc1-g1       (refute the threat; because after -1...Ba1-b2 the mat is possible:

-2.Rd1-d6 and 1.Bc5#, or -1.Bc1-b2 -2.Bc5-a7 and 1.Rd8#)
-2.Rd1-d6!        (surprising switchback threating -3.Fe8-c6! and 1.Kg7#)
-2. ...   Bc3-b2        (only move ovoiding the threat, the Bishop is looking now on e1 but loose control on c1 !)
-3.Bc5-a7 and 1.RxRc1(Ra1)# (because c1 square stay free)
