Not too difficult. Any White move spoils the current set-up, so the idea is fininding a different way to deal with a couple of Black's defenses. The mates are changed from captures to discovered checks, which are more elegant.

If that happens, Knight goes to e4?

It would follow 2.Nh7#. Cheers.

Both Ne4# and Nh7# are correct. 🙂

After 1.Rh7 fxg5+ and there is not a mate in the next move.

Very difficult, but nice. I was blinded by the idea the black King would never be allowed to go to f5.
