Yes, very good. And, I agree, checkmate is excellent compensation!

Sorry, typo. I meant that 1. Nxf5 is bad.
Wow, my phone autocorrects Nxf5 to Bxc5. Weird!

After 1. Bxh6+ Kg8, the second move is 2. Qg6+. It's actually a fairly simple move, but I sometimes miss this type of move, too—I don't know why it is hard to remember that the f7 pawn is pinned.

1. Kc1 only leads to a draw, not a win. In the line you suggested, after 4. g4, the black king gets back in time, so White cannot queen a pawn.
Look again at the whole board after 1. Kc2 Ka1 2. Kb3 a2 3. Kc2. This is NOT stalemate.

Correct! Black could exchange his queen for White's rook and bishop, but then White could advance the a-pawn. Black would have to give up a piece to stop it.
