We have to admit that last month's Fausto Dalumi problem was well into the "difficult" category. So this month, we'll feature a problem that is a little less strenuous. It was originally published under the theme "The Devil and the Deep" and we think you'll see why when you arrive at the solution.

Solution
27-23 3-7 4-8 7-11---A 15-10 6-15 23-18! 15-22---B 8-15 White Wins.
A---Seemingly regaining material equality, but destined to still lose. If Black avoids this continuation with 7-10 then 23-19 10-14 15-11 14-10 8-3 etc. is merely a typical three against two win for White.
B---Trapped between the devil and the deep blue sea! Either jump loses as White's return jump wins on "the move."
