Outstanding Teaching Example!!! 😃
Not too difficult, but also not the same old, same old. I had thought at first a Q sac might work, but thanks to Analyze Mode, I ruled that out quickly. 1...B×f2+ seemed not too likely, but using Analysis again, I found the follow-up moves, 2... Ng4+ & 3... Nh2+. From there it was all smooth sailing, even if in uncharted waters! ⛵

One more thing...
...said Peter Falk as Lieutenant Columbo...
BTW White mates with 4...Qf1.
White having left his Knight on b1 makes this combo possible! (White's a1 Rook would capture Black's f1 Queen!) The student should be warned not to try this if the Knight is developed! 😐
