Too hard.
1. Nxd6 Qxd6
2. Qf5+ Kc7 or b8
3. Ne4
Too cool!
1.Nxd6+ Qxd6
2.Qf5+ Kb8
3.Ne4 wins a piece.
NxD6
Seems too easy, so I think I have to be missing the strongest line somehow. In any case, white can win a piece with the simple…
1. Nd6 Qd6 (forced)
2. Qf5 Kb7 (e-file no good for Q)
3. Ne4
With a fork of the queen and bishop, and a double attack on the bishop. Black must lose the bishop.
1.Nxd6+.
>A-1……Qxd6.2.Qf5+.
>>A1-2…Qd7.3.Qxf6. Winning a piece and the game easily.
>>A2-2…Rd7.3.Ne4!.Qd3 other moves lose the bishop.4.Rbd1!.Qc2.5.Qxd7+.Kb8.6.Nxf6 a piece and R up wins easily.
>>A3-2…Kc7/b8.3.Ne4!.followed by 4.Qxf6 winning a piece and the game.
>B-1….Rxd6.2.Rxe7.Bxe7.3.Qf5+.Kc7.4.Ne4!winning easily.
