Black last played cxb4 instead of Re8 - the only move that could have avoided an immediate mate (but not the loss). Can you find the mating lines and different variations?

If White plays 2 Kb1, he has the following cute mate available:  2... Rc5 3 Bxf5+ Rxf5 4 Ree7 Rxf4 5 Rg7+ Kh6 6 Rxh7+ Kg5 7 Rdg7.

Very nice, but I can't see any other lines at the moment
