        Black should play QF7 to protect against mate at G7. White plays QXd5, and Black plays NF2ch. If White responds by taking the knight with the rook at F1, Black plays BxR and black wins the overall exchange with White’s knight stuck at E6 protecting the queen.

        If White responds with KG1, Black plays ND3 dis. ch., White’s king moves back to H1, and Black’s knight takes the rook at C1.

        I agree, Ng3 wins. hg3 is forced followed by mate in two.

        1. … Ng3+
        2. hg Qh6+
        2. Qh5 Qxh5#

        No variations, all whit’s moves are the only legal ones.
