White to move. How should White proceed?
Bg5 Qb6/a5 Nxc5 Qxc5 Be7 is my answer
1.Bg5 Qb6 2.Nc5 Qc5 3.Be7 Qd4 5.Qg5.
Doesn’t 1. Qxd8 Rxd8
2. Bg5 Re8
3. Nxc5 work too?
Okay, maybe not 2…Re8 but Rsomewhere else…
1. Qxd8 Rxd8 2.Bg5 fxe4 3.Bxd8 Bxh3 4.Kxh3 Rxd8 is not clear.
1.Bg5 Qb6/a5/d4 2.Nxc5 Qxc5 3.Be7 Qd4 5.Qg5 Rf7 6.Rcd1! Qc3 7.Rd6! +- e.g. Rg7 8.Rxg6 e4 9.Bf6
Bg5 Qb6; Nc5 Qc5; Be7 Qd4; Bf8 Kf8; Qf6 seems to win
Come on guys, simply Qxd8 and Nxc5 and white is a piece up.
What´s the point of this problem?
“Come on guys, simply Qxd8 and Nxc5 and white is a piece up.

Piece up?
1.Qxd8 Rxd8
2.Nxc5 Rxd2
I fail to see where White is a piece up in that…that’s the whole point. And now White has traded to an endgame where it is behind two pawns. Bad idea.
1. Qxe**, Rxe8 2. Bg5 with two pieces under attack, worst case white wins the exchange, evens up the material but black has doubled pawns.
white Nxc5 black Qxd2. white Rc1 to d1. this forces black queen off of d file say black Qc2. then white rd1 to d8. forcing the exchange of rooks. black Rxd8 white Qxd8+. now black is in check and in trouble.
I think it is a bit more subtle guys.
How about 1. Bh6 Re8 (forced, it cannot move off 8th rank in order to protect queen) 2. Nf6+ and gaining rook for knight.
