obviously white has to blunder somewhere? I give up, I guess I'm not as cunning as heinzkat. 🙁

that looks too much of a self mate though with Kh1, and it's black to move. come on GP, show us what you got. or... aren't you as cunning and imaginative as heinzkat? 😛

the King is on h1 in the original position.
I have to get white going first in the PGN thingy.

It's an RHP flaw.

White played 2. f4 and only took on f8 on his third move

1. ... Qd7!! (there is no defense)
2. f4 Bxd5
3. Nxf8 (the Knight has to move somewhere) Qh3+
4. Kg1 Qxg2#

I did a whole Corner once dedicated to that mating idea giving a few
examples from my own games.

It was the only mating idea I could see. Then just a case of looking for
plausible moves. I did not know it was a killer with no defence.
I was just looking for a playable sequence.
