        I can’t see anything for black after obvious Nxf7… Then g6 and Be5.

        Oh, now I see that white had sacrificed rook earlier :D. Anyway I think Nxf7 is winning move.

        I would have played
        1. Qh8+. After the forced 1 .. Bg8 follows
        2. f6 and now
        2a .. Re8 (.. gxf6 is terrible)
        3a. Qxg7+ followed by Qxg8+ and mate in few moves
        -2b .. Bxf6
        -3b. gxf6
        –3b(i).. Re8
        –4b(i). fxg7 .. Rxg7+
        –5b(i). Bg5+

        Stop i’m too lazy to complete posting…

        My vision is:

        a) 1. Ng6+ Bxg6 2. fxg6 Qg4+ 3.Kh1 Bd6 4. Bxd6+ Rae7 5. Qh8++

        b) Nxf7 is only dangereous after the black king takes the horse…

        Corrections are welcome.

        Yes, with you consul, but I considered this line:
        1.Qh8+,Bg8
        2.f6, Bxf6
        3.gxf6,Rxe5
        4.Bxe5,Qg4+
        5.Kh2,Qe2+
        6.Kg1,Qe3+
        7.Rh2,Qh6+
        8.Qxh6,gx6
        9.Bxb8,Ra4
        10.Cc5 for exemple

        Sorry i’m the one with the Ng6+,

        I really think it’s correct except black could do as a 3rd move Qg2+
        4. Kxg2 Bf6 5. Bd6+ Kg8 6. Qh7++

        black can also put a rook between the Bd6+ but will loose anyway

        1 ng6+ bxg6 2. fg with qh8 and bd6 threats. e.g. 2… bf6 3. gf qf6 4. bd6+ re7 5. qh8#

        3… gf doesnt hrlp: 4. qh8+ ke7 5. qg7+ ke6 6. nc5+ kf5 and there must be a forced checkmate there

        oops, black queen is on c8, not d8 (qg7 kd8) so 5. re1+ wins (kd7 qh3#)

        I’ll look for a confutation to
        1.Ng6+

        One can look for the Bc5 defense:

        1 Ng6+ Bxg6 2 fg Bc5
        3 Nxc5 Qg4+ 4 Kh1 Re2
        5Bd6+ Ke8 6Qh8x

        Olimat

        >One can look for the Bc5 defense:
        >1 Ng6+ Bxg6 2 fg Bc5

        Stop right there! 2. Be6+ is double check and mate next.
