Problem No. 44. With above setting (from Problem No. 43) place white king on K2 and mate in three. These 'twins' have different keys and entirely different lines of play. If the above are solved too quickly, place the white king on QN and you have a four-mover. For a five-mover place the white king on K-R6; or start it from KR and forgive the slight dual play. We could also arrange a mate in six or more but don't want to exhaust your patience.
FEN 8/1Q6/3k4/8/4P3/8/1B2K3/8 w - - 0 1
Key: 1. K-K3 K-K3; 2. B-K5 KxB; 3. Q-K7 mate.
Key (Four-mover solution): 1. K-B2, Q-K3 followed by two mover solution above. Five-mover solution: Make three moves with white king to K3, running into the three-move variations above.
