So you like retros?

At first, I did not dare to post retros problems...
You did find the last retros posted here difficult? Really? you must be kidding :-)
Now *this* one you may find challenging :-)
It is from J. Haas (1973) and the very nice question is: remove a man (other than a king) to make the position illegal!
(only one solution, and yes, there are 3 black rooks in the diagram :-))
