Quiet moves face the difficulty of ...Nf3+ (spite check to delay) followed by ...c6 or ...Bxd8, gaining another escape square.

1.Ba4+ Kc4! and White can't keep the King out of d3. (2.Kd2 Nf3+)
1.c4+ Kxd4 and d4 falls next. No mate here.

Please check the position.

Ah, thought so. Then the win is

1. Ba4+ Kxa4
2. b3+ Kb5
3. c4#

or

1. ... Kc4
2. Bb3+ Kb5
3. c4#
