Quite smooth :)

Move 4, I stared at it for a few seconds before it occured to me to use the Pawn...

Fun

It's problems like this that bring out the sadism in me. I just like the over powering attack and blacks inability to hide.

I overlooked the d6 move to defend the black king. Then the whole forced mate sequence fell into place. This is the aspect of chess that is gut wrenching, especially when you are literally cornered into a loss. This is a good puzzle.
