Wow!! Brilliant move of 2. Kd2! allowing his bishop to take control of the a8-h1 diagonal. 

Superb game!!!

I just realized that in my 3...Na8 4. Rb8+ Kc7 5. Rxa8 Kd7 line that 6. Rh8! wins black's rook.  If 6...Rxa7 then 7. Rh7+ followed by 8. Rxa7.  If black tries anything else reasonable on move six (only checking on the a-file and continuing to until white's king is on the b-file delays the loss of the rook) then 7. a8=Q Rxa8 8. Rxa8.  Of course if 6...Rxf3 then 7. a8=Q.

Thanks, however I prefer the final move of the combination 3. Bxf3!! to the obviously more subtle second move of 2. Kd2!

Good finish! Winning also is 5. Rxc7+ though you must be a bit careful in the remaining ending.
