White moves and wins

Template: checkerboard / maintenance / new

Solution:
White only has one way to coordinate the interaction of his pieces with a piece sacrifice .
1. Nf7 – e5! Qg6 – e8 +
2. Kh8 – h7 Qe8xe5
3. f2 – f4! The punchline: the lady is trapped. De5 – b2
4. Rd1 – b1 Db2xb1 The attempt to break the bond is parried with a knight fork.
5. Nd5 – c3 + Kb5 – c4
6. Nc3xb1 White wins because his pawn can be covered by the king in time.
