This puzzle is part of an ongoing competition at the above mentioned site where it is required not to publish the solution before the end of the contest.
However, yacpdb has already posted the answer which means that we don't have any obligation to withhold the solution.
Ps: both solutions are already included.

I have always been curious as to why on some puzzles you didn't just go ahead and enter both solutions if you knew they were there

Fred,
In the present case, both solutions are provided by yacpdb .
In general, I leave the solvers get the second solutions, just to add to the challenge.
And also it depends how I feel! )

Fred,
As of now, in case if multiple solutions, I will mention if they are all included.

I like how in this case the CAPITAL LETTERS in the description tell me there are two ways to do it. Maybe GameKnot could change things to loudly indicate (i.e. some bar that changes colors) every time there is more than one move accepted while solving. But this would mean they would also have to figure out a way to do this on the final mating move (right now they only have one mating move stored, but all are accepted). Afters so many years of no further refinements any change would be welcome by now really.
