I think I figured it out - you make the white pawn into a knight then put it on b6. Then you have to keep making knights from promoted pawns and do the same trick all the way along until you reach the black king. Promote the g6 pawn to a queen and then checkmate.

There is it, that's the key to the solution. But to round off, think again about the last steps to checkmate.
Oh yeah you could just make a knight and it is still checkmate so it is much neater!
An cuter!
Oh wow! That one was WAY over my head. It also doesn't seem a likely board scenario... has anyone plugged in the position to see if it's ever happened?
No! This is a composed position as I said in the post text. In chess there are no only players, but also composers. This position was made up by one of them. Chess is also an art.
That makes sense. I guess I didn't quite comprehend what "composed position" meant in the context. Thanks for clarifying. 🙏
