1. Rxb5 axb5 (Kxb5 2. Qd6+)
Your side variation's no good, Rd5+ would be the only legal mov - Qf5+ seems to work maybe?

Rxb5+ isn't it? 🙁 1.Rxb5+ looks good, as it leads to checkmate in twelve. But there is still a mate in five that is better.

Kc6 moves into check (and the king is moving two squares): an illegal move. I'm reaching for the handcuffs, and you're going to jail. 😉

The problem with 1. b4+ Ka4 2. Qc2+ Kxa3 3. Rd3+ Bxd3 4. Qxd3+ is that the b pawn gets in the way of giving checkmate.

1.Qd3 e1Q+ and now black has a mate in four.

Yes. The position is a composed problem. White to move, mate in five.
