    i’d go with
    Bxf7
    cause you know, check which uncovers the rook to queen attack. Basically a rook and bishop for queen forced trade.

    um. i think.
    heh 🙂

    I am convinced by:

    1. Bxc6 Qxd3
    2. Qxd3 Rxc6
    3. f4

    or

    1. Bxc6 Rxc6
    2. Rxd8 Rxd8
    3. Qxe5

    (given, with typos, by anon)

    Unfortunately, I went with the inferior Bxf7. When the rook, two minor pieces and pawn look much better than queen and rook.

    The also proposed f4 wins the bishop, but leaves black two pawns up and better.
