Nice people! Great service!
White to play. Mate in 4.
NB: I’ll hold comments with solutions ’till the next day so there won’t be “spoilers” for others.
In chessy news… the Superbet Rapid & Blitz starts in Poland today, 8-12 May. 9 rounds of rapid, followed by 18 rounds of blitz. Magnus and Gukesh are playing.

UPDATE:
BTW… there is a chess.com tournament going on: Champions Chess Tour Chess.com Classic 2024. Big players are involved including my guy Wesley So. (YAY!) It’s Day 1 and it is the “play in” phase, for favorable placement in the next phase. They have coordinated their schedule with the Rapid and Blitz in Warsaw so that those players can also participate from afar (e.g., Jan-Krzysztof Duda, Nodirbek Abusattarov, Anish Giri). As I am watching, Wesley and Fabi drew – they share the lead.
