So far, only one user has sent me the correct move. Isn't there anyone else, who can solve this puzzle? Or everyone's too shy to check how correct are their answers by PM'ing me?

I gave up and used an engine. I don't think I would ever have seen that move myself.

Can anyone tell me if it is wrong? I just was eager to prove I can solve things.

Did you set up your final position on a board? If yes, take a close look at the 2nd Black rook.

No I didn't set up the position on a board, I used my mind. Damn. So close as well. Sorry people, my visualizing isn't as good as it should be for someone who has a rating of 1620.
