On ChessBase chrismas puzzle former world solving champion John Nunn asks - not as a prize riddle:
Describe the only legal way in which a player can touch three different pieces in one move.
This reminded me of this problem where the answer is included.
 (= 4+4 )

h#2
0...f8B+, then:
1.Rxf8 gxf8R 2.d1S d8Q mate
Of course, in practice there is a big dual - not in Bernd's AUW but in Nunn's puzzle! There actually is a legal way to touch up to 18 pieces in one move - by including "j'adoube". But that's not what I mean. One could do the move John Nunn asks for and then give up by laying his king down. Voila - four pieces in one move legally touched!

Nice way to incorporate an AUW in a single phase h#2; well, sort of. Though I can't help thinking there's something like a black pawn missing on e6.

I have corrected it. Thanks!

Siegfried,
you forgot to mention who invented this way of AUW in h#2.

It seems to me to be Michel Caillaud
