Black to move. How should Black proceed?

… Bh6
Qh4 Nxe4+
or
Qxh6 Ng4+
both of these players are well and play activly chess today. Orstein comes from sweden and Westerinen from finland
Westerinen comes from Finland, Orstein comes from Sweden, both play activly 2012
Let’s try 1…Bh6 and possibly trap the queen.
1…Bh6 2.Qxh6
(2.Qa5 Ng4+ 3.Kg1 Qh4 4.Qb5+ Nxb5)
2…Ng4+ 3.Kg1 Nxh6 4.Bxf4 Ng8
I guess this has to be:
1. … Bh6!
Where is white queen going to move now?
2. Qxh6?? Ng4+ wins queen.
2. Qh4?? Nxe4+ wins queen.
A move in g-file is out of question, enforced seems:
2. Qa5 Ng4+
and black is under terrible attack while his queen is “offside”.
After Kf1/Kg1 then Qh4 looks deadly.
3. Ke1 Nxc2+
4. Kd1/Ke2 Nxa1
Qa4 and Qf2 or Nf2 are still to come.
1… Bh6 2. Qxh6 Ng4+
or
1 … Bh6 2. Qh4 Nxe4+
in both cases winning the queen
1… Bh6 2. Qxh6 Ng4+
or
1… Bh6 2. Qh4 Nxe4+
in both cases winning the queen
