    Looks more like a mate in 5:  1 Nc4 Ka7 2 Bb5 Ka8 3 Nb6+ Ka7 4 Nc8+ Ka8 5 Bc6.

    Bc8+ lets the king escape with Kb5. It will be a long while before you can get him back in the corner for mate.

    exactly. This is more an example of 'how NOT to win with B+N'.

    This works, assuming the black responds Ka7 to the first move, which is doubtful.

    One possibility for mate in 4:  1 Nc4 Ka7  2 Bc8 Ka8  3 Bb7+ Ka7  4 Na5.
