extremo Castling queenside is also mate in 6, but I limited the opening move to prevent this puzzle from being cooked.

It being based on a game it just *looked* like queenside castliing would be still allowed.

Totally understandable since it was based on a game. I have no idea if Siem Van Dael moved the king before this stage of the game. Even if Siem Van Dael had not moved the king yet, I still would have limited castling for this puzzle.

Players reversed

Siem van Dael - Viktoria Radeva, Novi Sad, November 2020 (might actually have been played online due to covid restrictions? Not sure.):

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. Nxe5 Nc6 4. Nxc6 dxc6 5. Nc3 Bc5 6. Be2 h5 7. h3 Qd4 8.
O-O Ng4 9. hxg4 hxg4 10. g3 Qe5 11. Kg2 Bxf2 12. Rxf2 Qh5 0-1

It looks like some kind of exhibition game, but they actually played out the known (well, not known for everyone) Stafford gambit trap line. But how you would one get from there (he just promptly resigned) to this diagram?... is it featured in some YouTube analysis video?

Please note I got to 9 alts only.
