Plenty of ways to finish.
Most pleasing is
1…….. Qg2+!
2. Nxg2 Ng3#
1qg2&ng3 smothered mate
1. … f2! threatens Qxg1#
a) 2. Bxf2 Qxh2#
b) 2. Qxf2 Nxf2+
3. Bxf2 Qxh2#
c) 2. Ra1 Bf3+
3. Ng2 Qxg2#
… Qg2+
… Qg2+
1…Qg2+ !! ; 2 N:g2 Ng3#

1. … Qg2+
2. Ng2 Ng3#
Is it really so simple, or am I missing something?
1…. Qg2+
2. Nxg2 Ng3#
Qg2 Nxg2; Ng3#?
Qg2!
Qg2+
Qg2+
Qg2+ Nxg2 Ng3++
1. …Rh2 and 2. …Nf2 wins the white queen for a knight:
1. …..Rh2
2. Bh2 Nf2
3. Qf2 Qf2 and black has a queen for two minor pieces (he was already a piece down before the combination).
Crap on a crumb! How did I not see this immediately? Black smothers the white king with 1. …Qg2 and 2. …Ng3#.
f3 to f2
