d4!
What? No one, today, about the cornetto and cappuccino?
Black’s moves are limited. So the solution is to force Black to compromise its defenses:
1. d3-d4 (leaving Black with only N moves)
If N(b5) moves.
2. N-d4#
If N(d7) moves
2. N-e5#
1. P to d4, …
If … Nxd4
2. N to d4 mate
If … N to e5 (or f6 …)
2. N to e5 mate

“…cappuccino was invented by the Italian Capuchin friar Marco d’Aviano after the Battle of Vienna.” (Wikipedia)
