I liked that,

People who jump in may well come unstuck as it looks very much like a boring old queen sacrifice. Be wathing the perentage on this one today, I reckon its going down (@73 now).

Elegantly logical and a rare pleasure...

to see the purity of a checkmate using only knights..

Nice one

Cant take knight because Qh1#, and on any king move other knight gives a mate. Simple but beautiful

nice one. My first thought was Q*g2. But I overlooked the white horse. So it had to be something different. Checkmate with two horses I like that.

Nice

This was simple, even with the variety of choices for White's response. Just about each variation shows a different tactical theme.
