If that knight weren’t at e3, black could mate starting with Qf1- the rest just falls into place-
Black should just play Bg2+ first- white cannot avoid mate.
1. … Bg2+! 2. Nxg2 Qf1+! 3. Rxf1 Rxf1# Very easy tactic actually. Took me under ca 5 seconds to see.
Oh come on! It is forced mate in three moves!
1..Bg2+
2 NxB Qf1+
3 RxF1 RxR#
1….Bg2+ with mate to follow.

1…Qf1+ 2. Rxf1 Rxf1 + fails to Nxf1.
Instead,
Correct is 1…Bg2+ 2. Nxg2, then Qf1+, 3. Rxf1, Rxf1#
1…Qf1+ fails. 2.Rxf1 Rxf1+ 3.Nxf1.
But now we have the idea. If only that knight wasn’t defending the f1 square…
Deflect the knight first: 1…Bg2+ 2.Nxg2, and now 2…Qf1+ will bring about the mate.
Why is it difficult? Looks pretty easy to me.

After a lot of head-scratching, it’s simple in the end!

The Ne3 must be the main piece in white’s defense. Without it there is mate on both g2 and f1. Natural looking is:
1. Qf3+ Kg1
2. Bd4!
Bxe3+ follows next.
How on earth will white defend both the Qg2 mate and the Qf1+ Rxf1 Rxf1 mate?
Rg1 isn’t available since black played Qf3+ before Bd4 and king now is on g1.

The key is in my opinion the N on e3, defending a mate on f1 and g2. So immobilising the N is the key.
Qf3+, Kg1 (forced, else mate), Bd4 and mate on f1 or g2 is inevitable.
