Mao!
There is a Mao in f5, and Pe2 is a Royal Pawn (a King which has all the powers and properties of a Pawn, ok, but a King). Solution? :)
Cooked! My solution was 1. e1=Mao, Kxh6 2. Maog2, Maoh4#, but there is 3. Nh3! Sorry :(

The Empty Chessboard Mystery
If your Italian is good, you can read, here, in "Best Problems" - an excellent problemistic journal directed by a friend of mine, Antonio Garofalo -, the solution and the little "Platonic" dialogue I've written about the "mystery". Buon divertimento :)
