1. Dg5? Lc6!
Thematic: 1. Se4? (2. Dd5++/De5++) Tb2+!
1. Kc7? (2. Se4) La8 (2. - Txe4!) 1. Tb3? (2. Se4) Lc6!

1. Ka7! (2. Se4) Lc6 (1. - La8 2. Kxa8)
2. Kb6! (3. Dxc5++) Ld5/Te5
3. DxL/DxT++. 
2. - Txe6?? > thanks to 1. - Lc6 no check!
1. - Txe6
2. Dxg4+ Te4/Le4
3. Dd7++/Dg1++.

Interesting temptation with thematic accents:
1. Sd8? (2. Dxg4+ T, Le4/Ke5 3. Sc6++/Df4++) Le4? (2. - Ke5!)
2. Ld5! Te8?? > thanks to 1. - Le4 impossible!
2. - Lxd5 3. Dxd5++.
However:
1. - Tf2!
2. Ld5? Txf6! > thanks to 2. Ld5 successful!
