Puzzle #83: White to Play; White to Tinue

Hello, Takkers!

I'm going to do a series of easier puzzles over the next few weeks. I'm doing this for a few different reasons. Firstly, I want to make sure I include all the newer players in these puzzles. Also, I have USTA deadlines fast approaching and a tournament starting in two weeks. Lastly, my weekends are booked for the next couple months. So, two birds and all that :) 

So....Here's a fun Tinue from a game I played on the road this week.

For the purpose of this puzzle, Tinue is defined as a board state in which no matter what the opposing player does during their turn (Black, in this instance), a road win will be awarded to the other player (White) on their next turn. If you are familiar with Chess, Tinue is very similar to Checkmate.

Please form your answer with PTN or a link to your solution via ptn.ninja. Also, be sure to use the spoiler tag so as not to ruin it for later puzzle solvers.

I believe all responses by Black are singular and forced. If the response is not singular and forced, then any response results in the same following move by White or the defensive moves by Black have ready responses by White and those defense/offense pairs are interchangeable in regards to order. Of course, I could have made a mistake...in that case, let me know so I can fix it or, at least, apologize.

Please use the spoiler tag when posting your answers so as not to ruin the puzzle for future solvers. The new Reddit spoiler tag is shown below:

Thank you and enjoy!!

P.S. If you have a puzzle you want me to post, feel free to send them my way. If you would like to post it yourself but don't know how, I can also help with that.
