11…Kh2 12.Be5# mate (mirror checkmate and also model mate)

Medium sized study. Various tries. Checkmate [mirror checkmate (all the empty squares around the mated King are empty) and also model checkmate (all the pieces of the mating side take part and each square of the mated King’s field is guarded only once (pure economical checkmate)]. Play covers all the chess-board. All the pieces move.
