Mutate. For any black move a mate is set, but there is no waiting move to retain them all. Direct attacks also fail, e.g., 1. Nxe6? f4+! The key is 1. Qh8 zugzwang, with several mates from the set (1.. Rb1~, Ne2~, d5, e5, fxe4 2. Qxb2#, Qd4#, c5#, Nd5#, Rb5#) and changed mates on 1.. B~ 2. QxB# (in the set 2. Qb7#).
