This one comes with a question - Should I post the players, year and location of the games also? All of these puzzles are from games.

May be wrong... Here goes.
1. Nc7+ Ka7
2. Qxa6+ bxa6
3. Nb5+ Ka8
4. Ra7#
The problem, which means it is probably wrong, is the fact after Nb5+, the Rook comes to b7. Still looking.

Not looking at the puzzle yet, but no! Don't post the games they're from. There are some people who would just go on chessgames.com to cheat and find out.

That is true I suppose; at least it wins a pawn.
