White to move. Engine shows mate in 5. But I did it in 4. G5, kH3, bD7, bG4. How can black force 5th move?

If engine shows mate in 5, it will also show that .Bd7 does not work after blacks defense ..Be7.

1. g5+   Kh5   2.Kh3 (Here you failed to see blacks best move ) Be7

Now to mate in 5 you  must play 3. Rxe7

If you play 3. Bd7  Bxg5

Now your bishop is in the way of your rook, and should you play 4. B4+  Kh6 and your unable to mate in 5.

Sure. Now everything is clear. Thank You. In my game opponent played Bxa7, that's why I mated in 4. Bendiciones!
