        1.Bf8+ Kh7
        and now for the quiet move
        2.Bg7 leaves the black king without any escape squares as he is caught in a mating net. Now all white has to do is attack the king with 3.Nf8#.
        if 2… Ng5+ then 3.Nxg5#
        Black has an extra rook and is up an exchange and threating to queen the a pawn but he can not get out of the mating net.
