This is a position from my last game in the Kansas City Quick Championship. At this point I was tied for first place and had the white pieces; however, in time pressure I lost the tread. What is the winning sequence of moves? White to move.

My bet would be it starts with Bf4.
How quick is quick?
Tak: It was G29. Bf4 is the first, but there is a proper sequence of moves to win...can you find them?
I'm puzzled on what blacks counter is to this. What is blacks next move then I can figure it out.
Tak: That is part of it. Sitting at the board with 5 minutes on the clock and you are confronted with this position. Try to select the best moves for black and white. I couldn't do it at the board, but it was found during post-mortem with the strongest players making suggestions. Give it a try.
I appreciate you keeping on the straight and narrow *) I'll think about it this weekend but as i see black has no good news.
should read "Moves"
1.Bf4 Qf8 2.Rxd8 Qxd8 3.Qxb8 Qxb8 4.Bxb8 And you have a won endgame for white(Bishop against knight, a unubstructed pawn on on the a file, you can centralize your King very easy.
Caquetio Knight: You have managed the key sequence of moves. Having said that, the game is not over yet and accurate play is needed to bring home the point.
Bf4... if i was having trouble with time....
