Weekly Chess Puzzle

I've decided to run a series of weekly chess puzzles. I'll attempt to post problems that are more involved than the daily Shredder puzzles. If you see the solution, leave a comment on the blog explaining your reasoning.


White to move and mate in 5. Can you spot the winning move?
