I bow my head in shame. The promoted pawn should not be on 2e but on 2f. I
always check the tsumes twice before posting them, because there is nothing as
frustrating as spending ours on a problem and then finding out that the problem
diagram is incorrect (it happened to me a few times as well). I guess it was
bound to happen, but already in my second posting I made a mistake. I will try
to be more careful in the future. Thanks, Ivan, for bringing my attention to it.
