Getting away from it all

A neat little study I came across a few days ago. As with many studies, the main difficulty is not finding White's moves, but Black's defensive resources, so be careful if you think you've solved it easily! The full solution is five moves long.

White to play and win

I am off to spend the day walking in the area near my home in Kent, "The Garden of England", in a bid to forget the farcical last-round pairings for the British Championship. The title could well be decided by the result of the board 2 game, where a 2660 professional GM is playing a 2246 amateur!!

Study solution tomorrow.
