this is mate in 4!

others illustrated solution ( rg7...the 1st move) is only true

if "c" pawn will take the knight. what if black will use the

"a" pawn to take the knight?

Mate in 4:

rf2 axb2 rf1+ b1N rxb1+ axb1Q+Qb1#

i think this is mate in 4 guys.

"I know how to do it.

1 - Move the Knight to behind either of the pawns"

 

Instant stalemate...
