The key is 1 Kc7! (waiting), which removes a flight. Black has but one legal move: 1 ... Ka5. For the next two moves White maneuvers the bishop to d8 and all Black can do is mark time: 2 Bf6 Ka6 3 Bd8 Ka5. Now White mates with the battery play 4 Kb7.
ResponderExcluirP.S.: I must confess that I actually had to Google "Herlin maneuver" in order to solve this problem.
That's it, Jake. A slow maneuver that delivers a discovered checkmate. Brilliant, isn't it?
