Even if your suggestion is correct (I have not checked), then why the f*** are you writing your solution here? The rest of us would like to figure it our ourselves.

@Josip Vrabec:
What I do miss is a description of how you came to this solution. Or at least what you felt for it - did you enjoy it?
When you don't have time or energy to solve the position yourself, it's still fun to follow how others struggle with it.
So, I don't mind that people try to give a solution here - as long as they aren't afraid to make mistakes. When I want to figure it out myself, I simply don't look at the comments.

I have no specific names, but I can hardly imagine that I am the only one who want to solve the puzzle my self.
