This is one of Fischer’s old games. White to move. What is the best way for White to attack in this position?

Attacking chess
How about
1.Bg5 hxg5
2.hxg5 Nf4
3.gxf6 Nxe2
4.fxe7
?
If it is wrong then i admit to being a weaker player than Fischer
🙂

I think first Ng5 and then f4 playable. what black must do is his problem 🙂
After Nf4 I would play gxf4
No, I was wrong.
Or yet I was right? After Qxf4 Qh5 looks good
I am absolutely stupid, I can see nothing.
If
1 Ng5 hxg5
2 Bg5 wins the Queen.
Mark
i think youre right about
1. Bg5 hxg5
2. hxg5 Nf4
then i think simply
3. Qf1 wins the queen doesnt it?
sorry i have to make myself clear
i missed Qg6 but I think it works anyway
1. Bg5 hxg5
2. hxg5 Nf4
3. Qf1 Qg6
4. Nxe5 dxe5
5. Bh5 and wins queen (5…Qh7 6. Bxf7+) although at the cost of some material
btw
excellent games at corus today
nearly everyone seems to be playing to win!!
1.Ng5? Bd8
… and the queen escapes.
If you’re curious, this is Fischer-Ciocaltea, Varna 1962.
After:
1.Bg5 hxg5
2.hxg5 Nf4
… what’s wrong with the simple:
3.gxf6 Nxe2
4.fxe7
…, leaving White a piece up?
a piece up?
The knight on e2 is lost.
