    Definitely constructed, but nice for all of that.  Lots of variants on the open-field mate with a supported queen to look at, with the two squares the queen can't cover blocked off by the knight or by black pawns.  I didn't quite get this the "right" way, but close -- after trying and failing for a while to work out a mate on e4 or various other dead ends, I played the first two moves just to see if they were right.  Knowing that they were, getting back on the bishop's diagonal while blocking the b file escape path jumped out as promising, and of course it turned out unstoppable.

    Great puzzle.  Of course, I would never do this in a real game when N x Q is so easily, simply and overwhelmingly winning.  But still, puzzles like this are good for the development of ability to see opportunities.

    Move 3 is brilliant. After 3.Qb1, there's nothing black can do to prevent Mate in 1.
