Actually, it appears the whole puzzle is flawed as the engine finds many different solutions in various stages. Suppose this one is from the pre-engine era

Thx! Mat-Pat is appropriate as these are the states between which the variations alternate!
I hope I found a cure now (I'm probably not he first one to try; most problems have been scrutinized with engines) but it is not that elegant. Perhaps you can run an analysis on it. This composition is definitely worth restoring!
Forget the preceding post. Cooked! Working on a promising idea!

And probably not once chose a submitted puzzle for the Daily Puzzle!☺
So hopefully this version is correct! Everyone is invited to analyze and find a second solution!
There are actually four solutions
1.
2.
3.and 4.
the queen only needs to be on the h-line
mistake of thought.
The knight breaks 3rd and 4th mate
Mates in 3 moves by sacrificing queen.
An opening trap from white that leads to a very nice mate.
This position actually came up in one of my games. I missed it while I was playing, but during analysis afterwards found this cool line.
This is the line the computer plays. There are other lines that don't lead into mates, but white is completely winning after all of them. It's the first few moves that are the most important.
