"So I awoke, and behold it was a dream."
John Bunyan (1628-1688) The Pilgrim’s Progress, I [1678]

On 1.. f6 2. Re6#, a mate has to be provided on 1.. Qxb8, e6, e5. The tries 1. Nxc5? (2. Nc8#), Qa1? (2. Qe5#), Qg1? (2. Qxc5#) miss one mate and fail to 1.. Qxb8!, e6!, e5! So only 1. Qh4 solves with Q-mates on 1.. Qxb8, e6, e5 2. Qxe7#, Qd8#, Qf6#. Published in Troll.
