ajedrezmonclova.blogspot.com
1. .. Nf2+ 2.Nxf2 Qxf2 3.Qg2 Bf3 4. Qxf3 Qg1++ or 4. any other move, Qxh4++
Hmmm… you might want to re-check whether White is forced to play 2. Nxf2 or not. Hint: not.
1. Nf2 for starters…

I think this problem or something extremely similar was posted here before
I think it’s mate in 7, though White can end it earlier.
Curious about White’s under-promotion.
Here are a couple of approaches:
1. … Nf2+
2. Nxf2 Qxf2
3. Qg2 Bf3
4. Kh2 Qxh4+
5. Qh3 Be5+
6. Kg1 Qd4#
1. … Nf2+
2. Kh2 Be5+
3. Kg2 Nxh3
4. c7 Nf4+
5. Kg1 Bd4+
6. Nf2 Qxf2+
7. Kh1 Qg1#
1. … Nf2+
2. Kh2 Be5+
3. Ng3 Nxh3
4. Bxh3 Qxg3+
5. Kh1 Qh2#
Or, for someone who doesn’t read FEN notation:
1. … Nc7+
2. Kb7 Nxa6
3. Nb6 Nc5+
4. Ka8 Qc7
5. Nd7 Qxc8+
6. Ka7 Qb7#
Or
1. … Nc7+
2. Nxc7 Qxc7
3. Qb7 Qa5+
4. Qa6 b1(Q)
5. Bb7 Qxa6+
6. Bxa6 Qb8#
WEIRD that whote has 2 white squared bishops!
Let’s see another try!
1. … Nf2+
2. Nxf2 Bf3+
3. Qxf3 Qxf1+
4. Kh2 Bd4+ +/-
