1.f25 - c64
2.ge5
Sorry, you need a Java enabled browser to view this Bushka problem!

In the final position, white threatens 5.e45 and 6.f35, winning a man. Obvious moves to prevent this include eg8, ef7 or occupying e5. I missed this simple combination in the semi-mirror variant in game 4 of the match against Anneke, but got away with a draw.
