Not easy for a two-mover

.. but a lovely and ingenious composition.

Moving the c5 B seemed a likely key move, but to where? It was not until I played it out that I realised that only one square works.

1. Bb6 looked tempting, threatening 2. Qd5#; After 1...Kb7, 2. Bg2 is an attractive mate. Unfortunately there are several other ways Black can respond to this threat.
