Solution

This position arised in a correspondence chess game, so one would expect the solution to be very complicated. I didn't find it that hard. But some precise calculation is required to blast black off the board.

The EPD for this problem is: 3r3r/1pq2Qp1/3kn2p/p2p3P/8/2P1B3/PP4P1/2KR1R2 w - -
