Ne7+ is a good start…
1. Nxe7+ Qxe7 2. Bd5+ and whatever piece interposes is pinned, allowing Qxg7#
A good one!
Ne2 and black has to resign
For the sake of completeness, please note that Anon’s line omits one interposition. On 2…Be6, an immediate 3. Qxg7# isn’t possible because the queen is still mobile, so white must interpolate 3. Bxe6+, when either capturing or interposing leaves g7 unguarded.
