    Sorry for all those comments.
    Nice Christmas tree and good joke. So anybody, who knows how pieces move can find 1st move.
    1...any.
    wins in 4 moves

    Marijan,

    You can't just say mate in 4.

    You must give, at least, the probable continuation of moves.

    There are 10 different first moves and after each there is a mate in 3 more moves. I'll let readers figure it out.
    Just one simple solution:
    1...Na1 2.any Kc3 3.any Nc2 4.any Ne3 mate.
