[Retros] First example of 'reverse mate' theme

[CAILLAUDM at aol.com]

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,

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?
