From an old issue of Games Magazine.

The chief of police (white king) sends out his policemen (white bishop and rook) to apprehend the burglar (black king), who dodges bullets behind the pillars (pawns).  White to move and mate in 17 moves.

On seventh move Re3 and unstoppaple checkmate.

Cool Problem.

@RookSacrifice: You realize the board in this type of problems is always shown from White side and there are 4 black pawns one square from promotion?
