1. Bd8 (not 1.Bd1)

Well that can be answered by a nasty 1...Rf7 check!!Cool

Ok, no Bd1 doesn't work..because then Rc7.

Please check the coordinates. Again 1. Bd8 (not Bd1).

A hard one. I have found 2 mates in 3 so far:

And a nice stalemate:

But I will keep on trying. Laughing

Srry.Didn't check your reply.

Ok,I think I have got it. Is it Bh4? The rook check doesn't work as Bf2#(rook can't take as it is pinned)
