Who says the knight can't gain a move?

Funny, funny :)

The "short-legged" knight is stronger than Q or R or B. Puts a big smile on your face...

If Pawn promotes to Q, R, or B, Black can do 2......Nb7, and no mate, white's pieces are "stuck" whereas the promoted knight can move to b7 if necessary. Cute puzzle; I didn't get it without hints either.
