Blitz Puzzler

I haven't posted a blog in a long time, and I wanted to record this position somewhere, so I'm dropping it here as a puzzle.

The continuation in the puzzle is from the game continuation. Tougher defenses from black are given in the movelist.

    1.. Bc8 looks better, to give the King a "pocket" in the end on e6, but really I dont see it thru as I dont have a board handy to go thru it, or comp to test it..

    beauty, nice puzzle!  Got it here but I doubt I would see it in a blitz game.

    Yes, 8. Qxb6 cxb6 9. Rxa8 is easily winning and tempting. In the game I don't think I even considered it because I was too low on time to count material! I just analyzed the check first and that was that.

    Nice one! I fell for the queen trade after 7...Kd7.

    "6.. Qb5, kind strange... what's the pourpose of it?"

    That's kind of a funny thing to say without providing an alternative move. I don't think there is anything black can do about the coming checkmate and he just hoped white might go for the queen trade.

    Perhaps a better try was 6. ... Rd8 intending to meet 7. Ra8+ with 7. ... Kd7 and then Ke8 getting to safety, but white just plays 7. Ra7 instead.
