1.f25 - bc4?
2.ed3
Sorry, you need a Java enabled browser to view this Bushka problem!

There a resemblance with 1. ... c74 but there's a difference: 2. ... de6 now suddenly seems possible because the combination that did black in there, doesn't work here. The man on c4 is isolated on the 4-line and white can't pull it because black captures over the e-line if white moves to e4. Nevertheless the move is wrong.
