Funny Chess Puzzle ! White to win.

Aight that was fun. Love the gimmick

I'd give you more praise but

I don't want to beat a dead horse. Or three of them

My first chess puzzle, fun!

My solution
  1. a8=N d3 2. Nb6 cxb6 3. c7 b5 4. c8=N b4 5. Nd6 exd6 6. e7 d5 7. e8=N d4 8. Nf6 gxf6 9. g7 f5 10. g8=N#

Very nice forced sequence. Many dead horses. :(

All I can see is stalemates, as black has only one more legal move. am i missing something?

@bravesentry @chessmate
... black has only one legal move left... unless you give him the chance to get another one (and another, ....)

OK, I like that one. At first, I thought we had to underpromote to rook and then castle somehow, but this isn't AnarchyChess@sopuli.xyz .

Puzzle spoiler

We underpromote to knight instead.
