A seemingly earlier version of Chesthetica on a problem composed later (based on the date and time stamp) simply means that version may have been running on a different computer or operating system user account. White is significantly ahead in material. The position appears fairly cluttered. Hint: there might be a pawn promotion involved. Did you find this one interesting or have something else to say?
