Hiarcs is great here!

With your post I figured out the solution. The beautiest line is:

1. Nf6+ Kg7 2. Nh5+ Kg6 3. Bc2+ Kxh5 4. d8=Q Nf7+ 5. Ke6 Nxd8+ 6. Kf5 e2 7.
Be4 e1=N 8. Bd5 c2 9. Bc4 c1=N 10. Bb5 Nc6 11. Bxc6 Nc7 12. Ba4 Ne2 13. Bd1
Nf3 14. Bxe2 c4 15. Bxf3#  {Matt} 1-0

to prevent this mate, black has to avoid 4... nf7+ which looses (obviously) too.
