6 promotions task

Methinks the number of threats can be reduced to at least only two,
but did someone manage only one? (Too lazy myself :-)

It reminds me of the following position, quite heavy and with bad key, but impressive in other way.

Peter Gvozdjak
Pravda 1981
(= 14+10 )
#2 (14+10)

1.Bd6!

@Frank: Zugzwang is perfectly OK. (I guess 1 threat is
impossible. Of course I have seen this problem before,
I just couldn't recall it. BTW, @Seetharaman, also a
changed mate on Kf8 :-)
