Wow, nice one. Did you compose the position yourself "from scratch" or did it appear in one of your games?

it's totally made up, fun tactics almost never appear in my games.

btw, I saw Paranoid-Android performed live just 7 days ago, that was awsome(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8p4tZI9z6UE)! But still Creep was the best Cool

the main point of Ba8 is to keep b7 and c6 in the line of fire before the final Nd5 check.

1.Ba8 b1=Q 2.Nd5#

the only try is to make some more space with the pawn move but this doesn't work either as shown above.
