King on the Run

The last time I used the chess tag on this blog was in January 2007. This probably sets a record for longest times between tag uses. In this game, I was white and looking for a way to attack and capture the black queen.  



The move? Queen to h8. Black moved the king to f7 so I respond with knight to d6, forcing king to f8. Good start. So how do I get the queen from the board below?



Bishop to h6. Again puts the king in check so he has to move to e7.


From there it's simple. Bishop to g5, again putting the king in check. Allowing a queen capture without sacrificing anything.


Four moves in a row where black had their king on the run, ending with a queen capture. From here, easy to close out.
