    how about 1. a7 QxBch?

    Then 2 NxQ, pxR(Q), 3. QxQ stalemate
    I just think we should suspend judgment on Boris until we have all the facts through an inquiry, police investigation, and parliamentary commission...then we should explode him.

    Nxd8 allows black to Ke5, but

    2. Kg7

    What white wants to do is Rxf4+, but black has nothing to stop it. Maybe 2. axb1=Q? After that

    3. Rxf4+ Qe4
    4. Rxe4#
    Our brains have just one scale, and we resize our experiences to fit.

    Found it. You guys are (mostly) right. The nuance is that 1...pxR and the pawn can promote to various pieces, each of which White has to counter in a specific way.

    This puzzle really is farked. I quite enjoyed that.
