Ok , I have the King trapped in the corner, but how do you get a win ?

Nice tactic. Would love to pull this one off someday. Thanks for the post.
Thanks Stacey

good one

Wouldn't it just be quicker to immediately take the pawn on f3 with the light squared bishop? after White queen took black's bishop on f3, then Black's queen takes the knight on f1 and checkmate.

@KiwiJuiseIt would be quicker if it wasn't for the bishop gaurding f1.
In any case, here's a faster and nearly totally forced mate:
EDIT - Scratch that - I missed the bishop! :(
But I got it to work anyways. Check my variations
EDIT2 - Oh forget it. No forced mate that I can see. Good puzzle
