   1…Bxg6#
   1.Qe4+ Be6 2.Rh7 Kd8 3.Rh8+ Bg8 4.Qc2! Ke8 5.Be7! Kf7

6.Bd7! Bh7 7.Be8+ Ke6 8.Qe4+ Bxe4#
Fata Morgana with a changed mate and a switchback of the WD. (Author)

Steven also noted: “There is a similarly constructed s#8* by Moutecidis in the PDB from Suomen Shakki 2001 but it is busted and it also does not have the same changed mate or continuation except for the initial moves tying down the Bishop… I composed this independently and found the Moutecidis as I always do a predecessor search…”
