Solution:
Watching the bishop chase to get a stalemate is part of the fun of this, but the knight moves are great: 1.N6c7!! a1=N+ [1...a1Q 2.Bb6#] 2.Kb2 Nb3 3.Kxb3 Be3! 4.Bh2 Bg1 5.Bf4 Be3 6.Nb6!! Bxf4 [6...Bxb6 7.Bd2#; 6...Kxb6 7.Nd5+ Kc5 8.Nxe3 wins as K+B+N can mate a K, if you know how! Studies assume you do.] 7.Nc4#
