1. ……. Nd1
2. Qxd3, Nxf2#
2. Rxd1, Qxd1#
1…. Nd1
(1…. Nxe4 2.Qb2 defending f2)
Now either white has to lose Q or choose how to get mated.
2.Rxd1 Qxd1#
or 2.Rf1 Rxf1#
other moves allow 2… Nxf2# except the one
2.f3 Nf2# .Yancey’s notation does not allow him to choose between Nxf2# and Nf2#.
Very good puzzle!
1……..Nd1!!!. Black treatens Qxa3 winning Q for nothing or mate by Nxf2#. White cannot parry both simultaneously!
>A-2..Qxd3..Nxf2#!!
>B-2..Qb2 to cover f2…Nxb2 wins Q for nothing!
>C-2..Qany other/B any.Nxf2#!
>D-2..Rf1.Qxf1#!
>E-2..Rxd1.Qxd1#!
>F-2..Re1.Qxa3 winning easily with Q for R and a weak back rank
>G-2..f3/4.Nxf2#!
>H-2..g/h3/4.Qxa3 with Q for R!
>I-2..b5.Nxf2#!

N-D1 FINITO
Nxe4 wins
1. Ne4
1. … Nd1! 0-1
1. …Nd1! 2. Rxd1 Qxa3 -+
Correction. 1. …Nd1! and White has to give up his queen to avoid mate.
Nd1 threatens Nxf2 mates, and discovers an attack on the white queen and covers b2. Quite an economical move
Nd1!!
Nd1, threatening checkmate and capture of the queen.
