Where do you find these things?

This one is very, very nice (as usual).

Spoiler:










1.Nd8 Kc5 2.Ne6+ Kd6 3.Nb6! Ke7 4.Nc8+

   [4.hxg3 Bb4 wins for White but does not mate in the required number
    of moves]

4...Kf6 5.Nf8! Kg5 6.hxg3 Bxg3

   [6...Kh5 7.f4
      (or 7.Be2 Nf6 8.f4+ Ng4 9.Bxg4#)
    7...exf4 8.g4+ Kg5 9.Nh7#]

   [6...h5 7.Nh7+ Kh6 8.Nd6 h4 9.Nf7+ Kh5 10.g4#]

7.Ne6+ Kf6 8.Nb6! Ke7 9.Nd5+ Kd6 10.Nd8 Kc5 11.Nb7+ Kd4 12.c3#
