Two ways to do this:

1.Qh5+ Kf6 2.Rxe6+ Qxe6 3. Ne4+ winning the Queen

or

1.Rxe6+ Qxe6 2.Qh5+ Kf6 3.Ne4+ winning the queen.

3... nope, Bxe4 both times

First 1.Be4+! Bxe4
2.Qh5+ Kf6 3.Rxe6+ Qxe6
4.Nxe4+

Nice blog, but it seems that the most recent post is from 2006.

I'll hope you find the time to continue with it.

1.Qxb7 Rxb7 2.Re8+ Rxe8 3.Rxe8#

or

1.Qxb7 f2+ 2.Kxf2 with mate to follow

Surely you meant 1.Qxb8 Rxb8.

A neat problem, regardless - the key is White's control of the long diagonal a1-h8, and White's ability to weaken Black's back rank.

A weaker near-solution (cook) might be 1.R1d6!? hoping for 1...fxe6 when after 2.Rg7+ Kh8 3.Rxa7+ White wins the queen.

But Black has the refutation 1...Qxc4! threatening 2...Qf1#. Oh, well.
