White to move. How should white proceed?
Source: ChessToday.net
Bd5 wins at least an exchange, and more if white can extract the bishop from a8:
1. Bd5 Qc7 (ed5 2.ed5 wins queen)
2. Ba8
Bd5, is that the correct answer? The bishop attacks black’s queen and rook. It also threatens check if black moves exd5 and white moves exd5 too.

Bd5 is the best move I think. If e6 takes d5 black loses the queen via ed5 discovered check.
if the queen move, black loses the rook at a8
I wasted sometime thinking about 1.Bb5 which does not work.Correct is
1.Bd5 here 1… exd5 2.exd5+ wins Q.
1…. Qc7 loses R.
Bd5 looks devastating. If Black plays exd5, exd5 hits the Queen plus discovered check. If Queen moves instead, the Rook on a8 falls.
White’s plan is Qh5 and then white should follow up by Bxe6
1. Bd5 if qc7 Bxa8 if ed5 ed5 with check winning the queen next move.
1. Bd5 if qc7 Bxa8 if ed5 ed5 with check winning the queen next move.
The bishop skewer at Bd5 wins a rook.
1.Bd5! Wins the exchange at least
>A-1….exd5.2.exd5+ and 3.dxc6 winning the Q for a B
>B-1….Qc7.2.Bxa8.Kd7/8.3.e5!.d5!.4.Bxd5.exd5.5.exf6 and white is up the exchange and 2 pawns.
If black plays 3….fxe.4.Bf3 and the B escapes for white to be up a Rook.
White still has a good attack.

Bd5 1-0
Bd5!
Bd5 ! wins the house
1. Bd5 wins a rook.
If 1. … exd5 2. exd5+ wins the queen.

1.Bd5 followed by 2.Bxa8 winning the rook after the Black queen moves. If 1.-exd5, then 2.exd5+ winning the queen.

2. exd5+ and the queen is gone
