This is unfortunate only for the intended task, but Mario's problem has
another interesting feature.
In fact, this happen to be another kind of problem "without words" after the
one by K.Fabel+W.Keym.
Here the 2 last moves of the game (instead of 1 in KF+WK) are known without
need of a stipulation...

Best,
Michel

Unfortunately, the bNe7's guarding the mating square.

And I still believe it can be done without promoted pieces ...

So maybe somebody can check my next attempt in fullfilling the given
task?
