Tomson solution

The solution to the Tomson problem in the last post is here. (I’ll omit a diagram here to allow later readers a chance to try the problem for themselves.)

The knight manoeuvres allow the bishop to move into place by shielding the white king from check twice. And the order of moves is unique: this is not a requirement for a series problem but is much more artistic than having multiple solutions.
