Check please.
No need to replay, Michal. Just have seen a forced checkmate with bBf1 and wKh3.
The last version is without black Bishop:

Still cooked?
This position looks promising. I see neither reasonable check to force mate, nor any other tempo final position. But nobody can be sure…
The order of moves tested with A to B by Jacobi. Thanks a lot for assistance, Michal!
