    I'm probably wrong somewhere but still here go my probably faulty analysis
    1...Nxf2 2.Kh1 Qg1+ now 3.Rxg1 is met with ...Nf2# smother mate
    So 3. Kxg1 Ne2+ double check
    4.Kh1 is met with 4...Nf2 mate
    4.Kf1 is met with 4..N2g3 5.hxg3 Nxg3 mate.

    I meant 1...Qxf2

    Well done, Anlam. I failed by playing 3...Nf3+, which allows the king to escape the checks.

    This is a good blindfold exercise if you go for the mate starting with 1...Qxf2+, as you both correctly did.

    I looked at this position for a few seconds, and realized that 1...QxNe5, 2.Bb3 0-0, and Black is already crushing White. I started to look at 1...Qxf2, but then it struck me that if that this is not winning or best, then it is absurd, so I refused to solve the problem and then looked at and visualized your guys' answer. ;-p
