White to play and mate in 4.
There are no duals - only one moves mates in 4. [there is no mate in 3
or less.]


It would be better - just being a stickler - to note that there is no
dual *in the key*. There are at least 22 duals in the continuation.

Construction of such a problem with no duals at all would be
phenomenal.
