1. Bh6 Ne8 then what?
I don’t see anything for white.
I see white wins after 1.Bh6! Ne8 2.Bxg7! Nxg7 3.Qd3! and black can’t prevent white from reaching h7 with deadly effect.
1. Bh6 Ne8
2. Nxg7 Nxg7
3. Bxg7 Kxg7
4. Qg4+ Kh8
5. Qf5, or
4. … Kf6
5. Qf5 Kg7
6. Qxh7+ Kf6
7. Qh6
I like Pharaoh’s line.

White is in great shape.
On
1. Bh6 Ne8
2. Nxg7 Nxg7
3. Bxg7 Kxg7
4. Qg4+ Kh6 (better than … Kh8)
5. Qf5 Rh8
White is down without a followup.
1 Bh6 Ne8
2 Bxg7 Nxg7
3 Qg4 Bf6
4 Nh6ch Kh8
5 Qe4 followed by Qxh7
1.Bh6! g6 (only move as 16….Ne8
17.Nxg7 Bxg7 18.Bxg7 Kxg7 19.Qg4+ Kh6 20.Re3 (+-) )
2.Qc6! Bd8 3.Qxc7 Bxc7 4.Bxf8 Rxf8 5.Rxa5 is clear for white (pureinmind)
@anon 3:22
1 Bh6 Ne8 is still viable
Qg4 reply: Bg5
Qxg4 Kh8
Qf5 f6 (and Queen covers g7/h7..)
