White to move. How should White proceed?
Source: ChessToday.net
Bb6 worth a look
1.Bxe5 dxe5
2.Kxe7 Rxe7
3.Qa3 +-
Anon 2nd. Looks good.
Yeah, Anon 2nd definitely got it right. Took me pretty long to find it myself as I got stuck with the idea of somehow making Nb6 work…

close enough…
And also, if Black doesn’t like the outcome of 1. … dxe5, the other interesting idea is:
1. Bxe5 Rhf8
2. Bxd6 Bxd6
3. Qxd6 cxd6
4. Nb6+ Kc7
5. Nxc4
A piece up, White should be fine here.
