Try: -1. b2xQc1=Q? -2. Qc2-c1 h7-h6 -3. Sc1-a2 Bc4-b3 -4. Sb3-c1 Qa2-a1 
-5. Rc1-d1 Qa1-a2 -6. Qd1-c2 Qa2-a1 -7. Rc2-c1 Qa1-a2 -8. Qc1-d1 Qa2-a1 
-9. Sa1-b3 b3-b2 -10. Bb2-a3 and the black king can't go back.

Solution: Start from the following position: 
8/1p5p/8/PPKPS3/2brP3/rp1pRP2/k1pPppP1/SRBRbB2 (15+12)

R357 - Dittmann
Try: -1. Sa6-b8? [Thr: -2. Bb8-c7 and 1. Sc7#] a3xXb2! and b7 is 
unguarded. This defence is removed by forcing the retraction of g2-g1=B, 
rendering this uncapture impossible due to capture balance.
Try: -1. Kg3-f3? h5-h4 -2. f5xg6ep g7-g5 -3. Kh2-g3 g2-g1=B and now Pf5 
is in the way of e5xf6ep, and after -4. e5xPf6 Sc2-a1! -5. Sa6-b8 Sa3-c2 
the rebirth square of the white knight is guarded by the black knight.
Solution: -1. e5xf6ep! f7-f5 -2. Kf2-f3 Bh2-g1 -3. f5xg6ep g7-g5 -4. 
Kg3-f2 Bg1-h2 -5. Bf2-g3 Bh2-g1 -6. Kg3-f2 Bg1-h2 -7. Kf2-g3 g2-g1=B -8. 
Sa6-b8 (a3xXb2 is now illegal due to capture balance) ~ -9. Bb8-c7 and 
1. Sc7#
