Line "B.1" seemed a win for white. I worked hard on line "A.1",
but I think it's too good for white.
I tried to win a tempo with 14...f1=Q+, and I got to think that  black
could draw. Illusion.
I increased a variant that we didn't have analyzed,  2 ...Bd8, that avoids
3. Ba5, but  I think that 3.Bc3! win.
I was tired and I didn't to find the winner line for white for
move (5...Bb2!?), but seemed dificult to find a draw for black.
See some lines below.
