Got it!

I can't believe I did, somewhat lucky I guess. I rated it a 4, but I can easily see why someone would rate it 5 stars. I solved it in "Analyze" mode, but usually solve problems (especially 3-movers or less) in my head. If you solved this in your head, you are better than I! Beautiful problem, with a great theme: Chase the king down the diagonal, using a combination of checks and mate threats, then chase it back up the same diagonal, this time ending up with the knight on c5 to support Bb7 check and mate! This is now one of my favorite problems of all time.

Be6

if the queen takes the knight in d1, then Be6 is a forced mate

This was stupid at the sixth move you should check him with the white bishop and when the queen comes down to protect it you kill it with you bishop and that's a mate in 7 moves
