Chess Puzzle - 8

After a long hiatus, I'm finally posting a new chess puzzle on my blog.


Looking at the position above, can you find the sequence of moves that white needs to play in order to enforce a checkmate?

As usual, I will be waiting for your answers (hopefully in algebraic notation) to be posted in the comments section. Cheers!
