Nice idea and difficult solution but seems also to go with 11.Qxg7 13.Qd2 15.g8=S 17.Sxe8(Bc8) 19.Kh3 20.Qg2+ Ke1# or did. I overlook something? This avoids going through g2 and so there is no need to free e8.
You overlooked 21.Sxd6(+Pd7)!
… but we have one move to spare, so 10.Qxd6(Pd7) 11.Qxd7 12.Qxg7 etc until 21.Qg2+ Ke1# should work – or am I overlooking something now??
Yes, Kjell is right: that is a cook. The easiest fix seems to be: + bPawn e7, which prevents 12.Qd7xg7.
Seems now to be cooked with Dual 11.Qh8 12,Qxh2(Ph7) 13.gxh7 14.h8=R 15.Re8 16.Bd8 18.Kh3 19.Qg2+ Ke1# due to the bPe7 or did I overlook something again?
No, you are right: square e7 cannot be occupied (a fact I had forgotten).
I sent a new correction to Julia today
Here is a cook due to the wPd2: 7.Kh3 9.dxc4(Pc7) 11.bxc7 12.c8=Q 13.Qd7 15.cxd6 16.Qa4 18.dxe8=S(Bc8) 19.Ba7 21.Qg2+ Ke1#
Hahaha this is terrible! And you have a move to spare… I will have to work even harder 😉
