7 solutions. That's pretty depressing, but I had a feeling. I tried composing this puzzle originally with the king on a3, but I found two solutions, with several transpositions, so I thought ka4 worked to make out only one. Apparently not (but then I didn't check to make sure in the first place). Sorry for the sloppy puzzle, I had a feeling it might be a little messy. I'll try to get some decent ones up here.
Got it! That was tricky. Just out of curiosity, when would be an appropriate time to post a solution? Or should I put the solution somewhere else and then just post a link to it here?
The threads are a good place to expose puzzles to more than one person. The issue being that after someone solves it and posts the solution others don't get the opportunity to try it themselves. You can send me the solutions in a message if you'd like, I appreciate your consideration btw. thnx 🙂
