b) 1.Rf8 exf8S 2.0-0-0 Sd7#

 

Lion: hops on Queen lines over any unit (the hurdle) to any square beyond the hurdle.

Nightrider: a rider moving along any straight line of S moves.

This is beautiful and even more beauty is in the change in the apparent ODT. Indirect (a) and direct (b) antibattery show the changed functions of wP/wLi, check/flightguard.

(wKg6, wLib3 and bNc7 would achieve a (virtual) purity in b).)

Delightful mates! T.R.Dawson would have loved it (using two of his favorite inventions). Can a fairy problem be more traditional ? :)
