Undecided Well... actually... 1...Bxf2 doesn't force a win and is not the best move. 

   1...Bxf2 2.Kf1! and now what? For example 2...Qf6 3.Qxf7 Qxf7 4.Bxf7 and it's a Bs of Opps ending where White has an extra pawn. Not so good for Black.

Instead try:

   1...Qf6! and now Black's king is safe and White's king is in trouble.

Congratz on finding 3.Bg3+! and the sweet finish.  Smile

After 1...Bxf2+? 2.Kf1 Qb8?? is not check--it hangs the queen. And if you meant 2...Qb1+??, that hangs the bishop and after 3.Kxf2 Black cannot score mate.
