1. Ng6 PxN

NG6 works. Threatening Rh8…

b
1. Ng6 f7xg6
2. Qxe6+ Qf7
3. Rh8+ Kxh8
4. Qxf7
Qe3, Qh3 and then Qh8 #
1. Ng6
if 1… fxg6
2. Qxe6+ Qf7 (else mate)
3. Rh8+ and 4. Qxf7
else, the threat is 2. Rh8# so
1… Rh4
2. Nxh4 wins the exchange
how about Ng6 and Qxe6+. Qf7 interposition is answered by Rh8+
h
Start with Ng6 and Rh8 after Qe6
I would play Ng6; there are two possible main lines: accepting the sacrifice or not. The countersacrifice Bxg2 is good just for delaying the mentioned choice and hence the end…
Ng6 threatening Rh8 looks tasty.
1 Ng6 fg
2 Qe6 Qf7
3 Rh8 and wins queen
or
2 Qe6 Kf8
3 Rf8
or
1 Ng6 Nh7
2 Qh5
1 Ng6 Bg2 doesn’t work either.
X. Ng6
1. Ng6 fxg6
2. Qxe6+ Qf7
3. Rh8+ +-
1. Ng6 (threaten Rg8 #) fxg6
2. Qxe6+ Qf7
3. Rh8+ +-
Ng6! threatening Rh8#
if …fxg6 Qxe6+
only defense is …Rh4 and white plays Nxh4, winning the exchange
Rh4 also defends the Qe3 idea btw
1. Ng6 fxN (or else Rh8++)
2. Qxe6+ Qf7 (if Kf8 then Rh8)
3. Rh8+ Kxh8
4. Qxf7
Ng6…g6
Q + and so on
Ng6..,,g6
thrn Q check….so on
Ng6…g6
Q + and so on
1. Ne5-g6 threatening Rh1-h8 mate
1. … f7xg6 (forced)
2. Qe2xe6+
If now 2. … Kg8-f8 3. Rh1-h8+ Nf6-g8 3. Rh8xg8 mate
Alternative for Black loses the Queen: 2. … Qc7-f7 3. Rh1-h8+ Kg8xh8 (forced) 4. Qe6xf7
great post..

Ng6!!

I saw Ng6 after two-three seconds. I have no doubt ‘that’s the move’.
1. Ng6 fxe6
2. Qxe6# Qf7
3. Th8# Kxh8
4. Qxe6
1.Ng6 looks promising
Ng6 seems the strongest. Threatens Rh8 mate. If fxg6, Qe6, Qf7, Rh8 wins material.
Ng6 looks good.
If
…fxg6 Qxe6+
Qf7 Rh8+
…fxg6 Kf8
Rh8+ Ng8
Rxg8#
1.Ng6! threats mate with Rh8
1…. fxg6
2.Qe6+ Qf7 (Kf8 3.Rh8+-)
3.Rh8+ Kxh8
4.Qxf7+-
1…. Nh7 (to prevent Rh8)
2.Rxh7 Kh7
3.Qh5+ Kg8
4.Qh8#
1.Ng6 f:g6 2.Qe6+ Qf7 3.Rh8+! K:g8 4.Q:f7
Mr Schmidig
1.Ng6 Nh7
2.Rxh7 fxg6 is more tenacious
3.Qe6+! open up the e file!
Kxh7 (Qf7 4.Rh8+)
4.Qxg6+ K adlib
5.Re8+ Rxe8
6.Qxe8 mate
