Found this one quickly on the interactive board, but did not understand the win for awhile afterwords.

::: spoiler Spoiler After Bf5, the engine in the interactive board follows with e5, which I don't fully comprehend. Taking the bishop with the pawn gives you a longer survival. :::

What am I missing? Is that engine that bad?

::: spoiler Tap for spoiler If that happens, you can follow up with g8=N#, which is also mate in 2. :::
