Mate in 7

This position came up in a game I played recently in the live chess area.  I didn't see it of course!  I did end up mating in a really asthetically pleasing way, but I could have done it much earlier.  Which is for you to figure out.  Good Luck!

Some might find other mates as I have, but no less than 7 moves.

How about mate in 3...bh6#

3. ... bh6# doesn't work because you're in check

nice:)

Wow! What happens if the knight takes the bishop though; I can't see anything immediate

Yeah Why is Nf4 forced if he takes the bishop it leaves a way out... I dont think its truly mate in seven.

1)...ng4+ kf4 2) nf3e5 nd6+ 3) ke7 nxb7 4) d5 kg5 5) bf6+ kf4 6)g5#

as far as the game being played as was:

1)...ng4+ kf4 2) nf3e5 nd6+ 3) ke7 ne4 4)bh6#

1)...ng4+ kf4 2) nf3e5 nd6+ 3) ke7 ne4 4)bh6#

This of course doesn't work because of the Knight on e4.  Can simply block the check of the bishop.  This is why the knight couldn't take the bishop on B7 on move 3.

Check your work.

i agree bh6#
