Good catches. Let me think here...

1. Re1 Txd5+
2. Kxd5 Td8+
3. Kc6 Qd7+
4. Kb7 Qb5
5. Ka7 Qb6 checkmate

1. Re1 Txd5+
2. Kxd5 Td8+
3. Nd6 Qxd6+
4. Ke4 Qd4
5. Kf5 Rd5 checkmate
   or
6. Kf3.... I'm stumped here. Any move seems to open up too many possibilities. Perhaps someone smarter than me can solve it.
