The key to the position is that you missed Nh5+? 😛 i.e. my first move was Ne3 but that goes nowhere after Qxb3 Nf5+ Kf6, then it was clear f6 had to be covered too, tadaa Nf4 does the trick
give me the line, I don't follow. Nh5+ where?

the idea of Bf8 is bringing the rook to f8 so that the king has Kxf8 after Nh5+.

ah I see, the problem is that I thought Nc7 mated (missing Bf8) and didn't even look at Nf4 🙂
