It's amazing how....
... powerful one Bishop can be!

One b6B pins White's g2P, preventing its advance, and Black can leisurely move his other B, fend off WQ, and then saunter down the road to deliver checkmate. Why hurry?

1. Bd6!...Qh5 ~ it's too late to get ready!
2. N×h5...Rf1 ~ Nothing helps!
3. Q×h7#

14/19 = 73% ~ average success, should be much better.
