Alternate Mate

Kn-B3, pawn captures and then knxP forces KxB, leading to KnxR for double check, K-B1, Q-A2 check, KxKn and then Q-A1 mate.

@skypilot

That isn't mate because when the pawn captures, it opens up a flight square on c2. You're analyzing it as if the c-pawn would still be there.

Gotta love those puzzles where the answer is to sacrifice one piece after another until one piece finally gives checkmate.
