The original, a prize winner, +bBb3 leads to mate#13 which is not manageable by this site computer.
Therefore a light version. If cooked or damaged by duals, it will be removed

You can just remove Bc1 and Pe3, and replace Rd1 with a B. I assume both Pa7 and Nh8 are there to restrict the wK on move 5, but on the 4...Nd5+ line they aren't enough.

The idea is to stick as close as possible to the original diagram and the composers intent. That's why after some trial and error process I decided to remove just one piece .

Well, given this slight modification reduces the number of moves by 7, the mating idea isn't the same in any case. Could simply do those alterations I mentioned and say it's based on their original work, that should be fine.

I don't mind if you give it a shot .We could probably compare it to the original or at least the present version.
Yours to discover!

Kapivarovsky's suggestion leads to a cleaner position, I like it. The #13 well-deserved 1st Prize winner by V. Kirillov and G. Popov needs this heavier construction, though.
