1. Na3 or Ne3 (any Black move)
2. Nc4 (any Black move)
3. Nxb6
Then the White kings runs to h1 and plays back and forth between this square and g1, g2 or h2. The king can't forced away from the corner as Black's bishop controls the wrong colour (h1 is a white square, the bishop is a black-squared bishop) and so Black's h-pawn can never be forced home.
