1.Re4? (th. 2.Sf3# A)
1...Rxb5 a 2.Qxf6# B
1...Qe3 b 2.Sh3 C
1...Rg3!

1.Bd7! (th. 2.Qxf6# B)
1...Rb5 a 2.Sh3# C
1...Qxe3 b 2.Sf3# A

Shedey cycle. Here, one defence in each phase is thematic for 16th Spisska Borovicka: the move 1...Rb5 is thematic after 1.Bd7, but not after 1.Re4, as Rf5 is not pinned before the move. On the other hand, the move 1...Qe3 is thematic after 1.Re4, but not after 1.Bd7.
