Quick back of the fag packet calculation says that 4...Kg4 (giving White the Queen) means that mate is 35-ish moves later, but inevitable... And, yes...the 4 Knights v bishop is very elegant

It's much longer if he doesn't do 4...Nf7+... (Kg4, for example) but then White has a Queen, which is ample material advantage... In the example cited, if Black doesn't promote the pawns to Knights, then it's over much quicker...

This says 1 Bc2+ Kxh5 Ah! Got it....

1. Nf4+? The problem is that I don't know what happens after 1...Kf5

I've tried that...then... 1. Nh5+ Kg6. 1. Ne8+ doesn't work, I don't think. Then, I can't get any of Nf4+, Bc2+, or Bh5+ to work out well for white... I figure you have keep checking, otherwise Black has Ba5...

Best I've got is black getting 2 pawns... 1...Rxg2+ 2 Kxg2 Qg5+ 3 Kf1 Qxf4 4 Nd4 Qxf6 Then black gets his R on the e file.

Yep, g3 defeats your initial Qh3 suggestion...
