Winning the bishop gives black a winning position, but it's obviously not checkmate. I should have said something like "White to move and gain a winning position." White to move and win is my shorthand, as opposed to White to move and mate. Sorry for the confusion. By the way, any doubts that Black has a won game following the combination?
