Chess Puzzle

Today's puzzle:


White to play. What result?

Solution to the last puzzle:
Schone - Nunchert
Potsdam, 1982
The solution given actually loses to the brilliant 2...Nb3+!!. Now there are only 3 possibilities: (a) 3.axb3 Rd1+ 4.Kc2 Rc7 mate. (b) 3.Kc2 Rc7+ 4.Kb3 Be6+ 5.Ka3 Ra4 mate. (c) 3.Kb1 Rd1+ 4.Kc2 Na1+ 5.Kc3 Rc7+ 6.Kb4 Rd4+ 7.Ka3 (7.Kb5 Rc5 mate) Ra4 mate.

Sorry about the slow posting of late. Destroyed my laptop during the week and trying to get myself organized again.
