        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#

        Let’s see another try!

        1. … Nf2+
        2. Nxf2 Bf3+
        3. Qxf3 Qxf1+
        4. Kh2 Bd4+ +/-
