     Splane,

    I see what route you thinking of when you mention the move sequence to mate; however, I found that with your prescribed moves, Black as ample opportunity to delay checkmate... even if it is for a few more moves. A few examples are below.

    I stopped where I did because at that point in the game White seems to be in enough control that the following moves do not need to be explained.
    Hope this helps you.  I am just trying to get more "involved" in things like this ;)

    after g6 Bb2 +

    2...g6 3. Bb2+ Bd4 no mate in four.

    Agree with Bryan681972 and blempka on these lines (with 1.. Kh8 and 2.. g6)

    1. Nh6+ allows black to delay checkmate to more than four moves

    1. Nf6+ is the more efficient mate

    Lets keep quoting
