White to move. How should White proceed?
5rk1/p7/PpRp1npp/3Pp1q1/4P3/5B1P/5QP1/6K1 w – – 0 1
The queen is trapped.
h4 nails it.
Rxb6
h4, Nxe4
Qe2
If Rxb6 then black wins with Nxe4!
1. h4 Qf4
2. g3
1 h4, Qf4
2 g3, Ne5
3 gf4, Nf2
4 Kf2 Rf4
5 Rd6 e5
6 Rg6+ Kh7
7 Rg3
i think h4 followed by g3 puts white up at least a minor, possibly wins the queen
h4
Does the queen die after h4 then g3?
1.h4 Qf4 2. g3 and trap the Queen
h4 Qf4 g3 wins the queen!
h4 Qf4 g3 wins the queen
h4 qf4 g3!
h4
1.h4 wins a piece since it traps the queen so black has to play 1…Nxe4 and after
2.hxg5 Nxf2
3.Kxf2 white is just a piece up

I think it´s h4 followed by g3 and the queen is trapped
1. h4 and the queen is in trouble 1- Qf4 2. g3
1. h4 followed by
2. g3
and the black queen is trapped
Only thing I can think of is h4, which leaves white with a slight advantage after a queen exchange.
h4 +-
h4 followed by g3
h4. qf5, g3
1. h4, …
1. … , Nxe4
doesn’t help because
2. hxg5, Nxf2
3. Kxf2
wins a piece
1. … , Qf4
2. g3
leads to the same line.
Black’s Q has nowhere to go after 1. h4 Qf4 2. g3.
Hello
1. h4 , Ng4
2. hxg5, Nxf2
3. Kxf2 winning
Greetings from Spain
h4 ne4
hg5 nf2
kf2 e4 wins the piece back
of course, blacks pawns are a mess, but it’s wrong to think he’s a piece down in this line
1.h4! seizing the opportunity due to the position of the black queen, Qf4 seems quite forced and 2.g3! +-
1. h4 N:e4
2. Qe1 wins a piece outright.
1. h4 Qf4
2. g3 N:e4 is better, but white also can save the Bishop with 3. gf N:f2 4. K:f2 R:f4 5. Kg3 or Ke3
1.h4 Ng4 best try 2.Bxg4 !! Rxf2 3. Rc8+ !! Rf8 4.Rxf8+ kxfb 5.hxg5
