I remember this position,it was published before.
It is Bc5 and force black C-pawn to take all white pawns with later mate with Bg2
Hello
1. Bc5 , c6
2. Bb7 , cxd5
3. Bd4 , dxe4
4. Be3 , exf3
5. Be4 , f2 ( if fxg2 6. Bxg2#)
6. Bxf2, gxf2
7. g3,g4#
1.Bc5! c6 2.Bb7! cxd5 3.Bd4! dxe4 4.Be3! exf3 5.Bf2! gxf2 (if 5…fxg2 6.Bxg2 mate) 6.Ba8! (or 6.Bc6 or 6.Bd5 or 6.Be4) 6…fxg2 7.Bxg2 mate ! Nice !!

Well I couldn’t check with engines, nor have I a board, but my nose told me that it should run like:
1.Bc5 c6 2.Bb7 cxd5 3.Bd4 dxe4 4.Be3 exf3 5.Bf2
a) 5…gxf2 6.Kxf2 fxg2 7.Bxg2#
b) 5…fxg2 6.Bxg2#
Looks funny 🙂

1. Bc5! c6
2. Bh3! cxd5
3. Bd4! dxe4
4. Be3! exf3
5. gxf3 g2
6. Bxg2#
Jet another cornerdeath Bc5
This looks like the ‘gobbling pawn’ problem:
1. c6 cxd6
2. e5 dxe5
3. f4 exf4
4. Bc5 f3
5. Bb7 f2
6. Bxf2 gxf2
7. g3#
1.Bh3 c6
2.Bd6 cxd5
3.Bxg3 dxe4
4.Bxh2 Kxh2
5.Bg4 fxe4
frees up the King and gets White into a winning position avoiding stalemate. But I am not sure if this is the most elegant
Well, he could play c5 on 1.d6. So, 1. Bc5 c6 2. Bh3 cxd5 3. Bd4 dxe4 4. Be3 exf3 5. gxf3 g2 6. Bxg2 #
Idea of Anonymous at 10:32:00 PM is good.To make it more forceful I have modified it
1.Bc5 c6
2.Bb7 cxd5
3.Bd4 dxe4
4.Be3 exf3
5.Bc6 f2
6.Bxf2 gxf2
7.g3#
1Bc5 is crucial else black plays 1… c5.there may be other solutions allowing black P to move down c file.I have not analysed.
Bc5! c6
Bh3! cxd5

NICE CHECKMATE
Solution is brilliant, but it wasn’t necessarily easy to see the problem!
The problem can only be described by what does’nt work:
1. e5? c5!
2. e6 c4
3. e7 c3
4. e8=Q c2!
and though white is 2 moves ahead, he still can’t prevent black to queen as well.
5. Qe1 c1=Q
6. QxQ stalemate.
Other alternatives should be winning for black.
