Checkmate challenge - White to Move

Setup this position on the board and try to solve this checkmate from beginning to end without moving the pieces. This position is from Schmid-Richter in Germany. There are other variations that wins for white, but try and solve for checkmate. I tried it for over one hour and finally thought I got the solution and started moving the pieces and realized a miscalculation and then it took me further 20 min. to figure it out. Fritz 9 takes about 3 min. and Rybka 2.3 takes about 8 min. on my computer to come up with the mate. How long did you take ??
