yeah...without the knight I think that it is mate in 15(white to move and mate) or something like that.

Nxc8 looks like the only way I can see because it let's the queen in.

Edit: nvm no it doesn't. Still looks like a good start though.

does Nxb6+ go anywhere from there?

no because white is in check after Bxd6+ and after cxd6 there is ...g1(Q)+! which sets white up for a discovered check with ...Nf4+.

you're right, let's back up to Qf3+ then.
what is black's response? Ka7 is forced...
then b5!

Ka7 is the only thing that doesn't lead to immediate mate.

everthing by white has to be checks until he gets rid of the threat blacks g1(Q)+! anything other than checks is ?? and so with that in mind white plays cxb6+
