check + check + check.... but you have to "see" the Nh6 remains defended by the bishop on e3. I like it.

Somewhat difficult for an easy puzzle, if you work it all out without using the analysis board.

Easy enough! But of course one has to make all correct moves to attain the goal of mate in 4. Any wrong check in between also would take you astray.

I am confused after Qe7, why not Kg6?

@warbut

Because after 1. ... Kg6 it is a mate in 3 moves (instead of 4):

2. Nh4+ Kh5 (forced) and then either 3. Qe8#, 3. Qf7#, 3. Qh7# or 3. Qg5#
