The moves leading up to the position were:

The only problem withthe 3 move mate (jugaz) is that white would use his knight to block and thus it would still be four moves. vaseer's way was nice. I seen the mate how jugaz described it, but not vaseer's. I eventually did but it took a couple of minutes.
