So 5. Bxd8 Kg7 6. Re8 what do you play after ...Kf7? By the way R vs K is a technical draw (so not the solution here, even if difficult to defend for Black).

Rook vs Knight is a draw, but Kf7 Rh8 Kg7 Bf6+ Kxf6 Rh6 picks up the Knight if you want to go for that trick

Perfect, you found the entire solution!

Full disclaimer, I did have to put it on the (analog) board in the end to find Bf6+ ๐Ÿ˜“

Nothing wrong with that. :)
