Four analogous thematic variations with double switchback for annihilation of a bP to eliminate a lion's guard of a mating square. But even more impressive is the partly quiet threat that forces the thematic defences (that provide Ec4 with a necessary hurdle).

Great work!

It takes a while to see why the black defences work! Once that is seen the rest is neat with annihilation the hurdle to remove the lions's guard and four different mates! Fully deserving the special number 555 !
