Piran theme

In the set play and in the solution, the mates are delivered by the same white piece, using the pin of the same black piece.

Note: In Helpmate Analyzer, the Piran theme requires that the pin in the set play and in the solution is not identical. There must be a difference either in the pinned piece’s position or in the black king’s.
