Chess problem idea


Hello all!

I recently thought of a potentially interesting effect to show in a chess problem, but I can't compose chess problems to save my life, so I was wondering if anyone here would like to take a shot at it. The idea is sort of a "Roman" theme in a two-mover...the scheme is as follows:

White Ra8, Bg8, Rose-Lion f8; Black Kd3, Bf3.

Tries: 1. Bh7(#?) Be4!
1. Rd8(#?) Bd5!

Play: 1. Key! Bh5/Bg4 2. Bh7# (Bg6??)/Rd8# (Bd7??), where the new defenses have the new arrival error of creating a hurdle for the Rose-Lion.

I'm pretty sure this isn't doable with standard pieces. I tried to come up with a sound setting, but like I said, I can't compose worth beans. Thoughts? In general, is posting half-baked ideas like this welcome on this bulletin board?

Yes, you can feel free to post half-baked problems but problems originally posted here are considered published by the codex.

Nobody requires you to save your life by composing here, by the way. :-)

I would think posting a general scheme like this is OK, but you probably don't want to go beyond that....
