Glad you liked. It is often confusing as to which way you're headed in these puzzles, which burns up precious seconds in TT.

btw I passed this problem too, though it took me more than 4:30 min. (about 1:30 min longer than average, apparently)

I played the Rc4 move. Too fast, not thinking, bad habit!
