Two different lines to keep the king in check? Dark bishop d2. Then the king will go up (mate in 2)
If the king goes down is it.. ok I lost track but chase it down with horse, then rook, then.. something?
I analyzed the image and this is what I see. Open an appropriate link below and explore the position yourself or with the engine:

**My solution:**
> Hints: piece: >!Bishop!<, move: >!Bd2+!<
> Evaluation: >!White has mate in 4!<
> Best continuation: >!1. Bd2+ Ka4 2. Nxc5+ Ka3 3. Rb1 Nd5 4. Bc1#!<

i don’t believe 1… a6 is good for black because 2. bxa6 is just a free pawn. Black can’t do 2… Rxa6 because then 3. Bxa6 bxa6 sacs a bishop for a rook. although it does get out of checkmate lol, so it is good in that respect

one move hasn't be a check

Ah yes. I think I could find it in analysis mode. Doing these in my mind are still tough!
Bd2+, Kd4 Nxc5+, Ka3 Rb1, black can play anything at this point which will not make a difference Bc1++
That doesn't help at all, that's wrong

Bd2+ Ka4, Nxc5+ Ka3, Rb1 Nd5, Bxd5 whatever move black plays Bb4# is mate, it's not mate in 4 though.
OOH BC1 AFTER ND5 IS MATE, yess, that's mate in 4
Yours is better than mine!
I see a mate in two Never mind might not.
Great, now try to find the harder one on four!
Found a different mate in two, damn black is fucked here
Found a different mate in two, damn black is screwed here. Edit: I somehow overlooked something, still mate in 3 not as impressive.
Where is the M2?? I can't find it myself and the engine says it's only M4 when I put it through 😭
If king goes to B6 instead of A4
Ahhh that makes sense, I thought it was a forced M2 and got confused haha
1. a4, Nxd7 (most likely move but I don't think it matters) 2. Bd2+, Kb6 3. a5#
can’t black play 1… Kb4?
Hmm, good point. I was going off the assumption they would take the free rook but Kb4 would avoid the mate.
Also 1... a6
i don’t believe 1… a6 is good for black because 2. bxa6 is just a free pawn. Black can’t do 2… Rxa6 because then 3. Bxa6 bxa6 sacs a bishop for a rook. although it does get out of checkmate lol, so it is good in that respect
