Very nice puzzle. Loved it.

If Ba6, Nd6 stops mate.

Wow, I'd would've never thought of that!

totally killer progression!

Why not 1...Bd7

Nc3 will lead to loss of queen or bisshop

Nf6 will lead to loss of queen or bisshop

first! and believe it or not it was easy! u have to understand that when its a planned mate such as this one was pieces will have to be scaraficed in order to make ur opponent move how u want them too! this is how the puzzles should be all the time cause the last few were pretty simple! NO OFFENSE to anyone

 Black can play Nf6 attacking the white queen whilst also defending his rook and white's attack breaks down

my trick

Black can then move its knight.

why not 1.Ba6?

Very Good

nice

nice

Ba6 is not good the knight play Nf6 and the queen has to move and finally the bishop died

Yes, this was nice.
