Solution :

1.Qd3×Be3# Nf1h2 2.b7×Ra6 Rb6×Pa6(Pa7) 3.a7a6
Ra8×Pa5(Pa7) (to open the cage, a Pawn must arrive on g7 to take back h3×g5(Pg7).
We need to uncapture every time a wPiece. Only the wQ is able to come back at
home (reborn square)4.a6a5 Rd6×Pb6(Pb7) 5.a7a6 Qa7×Pa4(Pa7) 6.a5a4 Qe7a7 7.a6a5
Qh4e7 8.b7b6 Rb6d6 (to help the wQ to come back, wR perform a cycle of 7/2
tempo. This manoeuver has been found by A. Frolkin,  R7 p.219 Rex Multiplex,

switch (d7×c7) would be impossible. We have to unpromote the wRa8 to have a
screen with a Pawn). 20. ... Qd1g1 21.Rg1×Qg2(Qd1)  (the bR is free and we can try with this psoition : QBg2, RBa5,
