Ingenious Composition

Only when you've considered & excluded every reasonable move, can you start to go through the unreasonable ones. At first Ke1 looked crazy but then I saw how it works - good puzzle.

I solved it, but in an actual game I probably would have played
1. Bc6, Qa6,
2. Re5+, Kd4,
3. Rxd6+, Kc4,
4. Bd5+ winning the queen

or if 1...Kf3,
2. Rg5+, Kf2,
3. Be3#.
