There is something wrong in your speculation.You have to go over it again.

This would have made for a nice puzzle for the Tactics Trainer.

No, that looks fine to me, it was the same mate i was going for, so if you would kindly point out the flaw?

I made a small error in putting down the line. It should be 4. Ne7 Nxe7 5. Bxf7#. Sorry for the confusion caused.

That takes serious dedication to see that ending and offer up those two pieces. Well done.

I'd do: 4.Ne7 the only way to get out of check would be with the knight on c6.

then Bf7 mate.
