You Win!

Reminding a polar igloo, or snow hut, hence the title's aspiration*, the board to this chess problem has quite a bit of free cells. Once you see some key moves, you'll crack the entire solution. Utilize as many multi-leap knight moves as possible. Seven moves is rather achievable than unreachable in this challenge.

A tiny initial hint here is that 4 out of the 6 pieces possess the same and only opening move for all of them. This can be a very interesting prompt into foreseeing couple of steps ahead.
