        IF 1….Kg2
        2.Ng4+ Kh3 (else Queen coming an mate with the rook)
        3.Rxh2+ Kxg4
        4.h5 mat

        1. … Nf2+

        A1:
        2. Kg2 Ng4+
        3. Kh3 Rxh2+
        4. KxN h5#

        A2:
        2. Kg2 Ng4+
        3. Kh1 Rd1+
        4. BxR QxB+
        5. Kg2 Qe2+
        6. Kg1 Qe3+
        7. Kh1 Qf3+
        8. Kg1 Qf2+
        9. Kh1 Qxh2+

        B1:
        2. Kg1 Nh3+
        3. Kf1 Qd3+ mate soon

        B2:
        2. Kg1 Nh3+
        3. Kh1 Rd1+

        B2 (a):
        4. BxR QxB+
        5. Kg2 Qg1+
        6. KxN Qf1+
        7. Kg4 h5+
        8. Qxh5 Qe2+
        9. Kh3 QxQ

        B2 (b):
        4. Kg2 Qe2+
        5. KxN g4+
        6. Bxg4 Qh6+
        7. Kg2 Qxh2+
        8. Kf1 Qf2#

        Took quite some time without a board, in the end I had to create the position with my chess set after all to solve B2 (a). Unfortunately 3 people beat me to it 🙂

        This is way beyond my level. Even a board won’t help me with some of these lines. Take a look: Real game tactic.

        1. … Nf2+
        Khairie…
        In your line :

        A1:
        2. Kg2 Ng4+
        3. Kh3 Rxh2+
        4. KxN h5#

        4…h5 is NOT mate.

        Also,
        2.Kg2 Ne4+ wins.

        Khairie, you should consider black queen is controlling h5, even in the line B you missed this.
