Blake-Hooke, 1923, reached this position. Based on the last puzzle, you should get this one pretty quickly.


Solution:

It’s quite amusing to watch the knights with their forward attacking moves both coming back to deliver the mate. No doubt you saw the first move, the queen sacrifice, but how long did it take you to see the rest of the finish? 1.Qxf6+ Kxf6 [1...gxf6 2.Nd5#]2.Nd5+ Ke5 3.Nf3+ Kxe4 4.Nc3#
