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!

      Not quite! After 4. Kc2 black is not forced to move his pawn, he could easily have played Ka2 intead
