I always mess up on your puzzles! But, I got the first two moves right
Never give up!
Sort:
Surely 5.Nf6+ would be a better move? Ckecking the king and attacking the pawn on d7 at the same time.

Oh my God, oh my God..........laughing for almost 4 minutes after reading this.Thanks! You said it in Yitdz's style.Seriously now i suppose that 5.Nb6 is better looking from positional perspectives.And after black 5.Kd8(trying to protect his pawn structure and defending his c7 pawn with his own king.
Then white should take the rook, queening his knight and delivering in the same time a nice back rank mate.But is just my humble oppinion.
THIS is for YITZD: please make an Yitzd 960 fanclub and let me be the admin!
Why should I make a fan club and let you be the admin? Solve the puzzle below and I will.
I did it! Make me admin! May I humbly suggest as your servant admin Rxh8??
seriously: are you a comedian?

wtf is that puzzle....and why does black go backwards to e8 under his pawns...HES TRYING TO WIN NOT BLOODY GIVE UP PAWNS
In both the puzzle and diagram by yitzd, It shows that victory can be obtained in any situation (as W. Churchill once said, "NEVER GIVE UP!!), so the winning side plays horribly( possibly deserving of ??? rather than ??).
hope this helps,

In my old club we had a player like this, he could lose anny game no matter how much material he had (how he got that material is a mystery) we all knew this so no one gave up beeing down in material against that player.
-One day he got a draw! The club president gave him a diploma!
puzzle in #5 is absolutely brilliant. I could not solve it no matter how I tried. At the end I had to click for a solution. Congratulations. 
Below, does white look helpless? But can you see how white saves himself?
