Rf8 would have shortened it one less step ;)
Quite - I guess the line of pawns should continue all the way. I'll update that.
why not your white knight jump to mate instead of making a rook move?
This works too.
Quite right as well...I guess I need to work on my puzzle making skills...
Well, there's 1. Ne8 Bf3+ 2. Rg2 Bxg2+ 3. Kxg2 h1=Q+ 4. Kxh1 g2+ 5. Kxg2 a2 6. Nc7#
Taking the Bishop immediately looks like a draw to me, so at least from my perspective, it really *does* look like a mate in 6.
