After much thought and trial, I suddenly realized that I had seen this before.
It is a very famous problem, the winner of a competition decades ago.
I don't have access to my reference book, so I can't give any more details.
Since I recall the solution, I will not post it, so as to give others
a chance, but I will add a hint:  there are three distinct ways the play
can go, depending on the defenders' early play.
It is indeed a very difficult one.

Since I already posted an answer, could you tell us more about this famous
problem?
