White to move. How should White proceed?
Source: ChessToday.net
Bxh7+ KxB
Qh3+ Kg8
g6 fxg
RxR+ KxR
Rf1+ Ke7
Qh4+ Kd7
Rf7+ Kc8
Qe7 Qc5 (only defense against Qc7#)
Nxe6 forking Rook and Queen
Mark
All I know is to attack. So the only variation which comes to my mind is
1. Bxh7+! Kxh7
2. g6+! Kg8
3. Qh3 fxg6
4. Rxf8+ Kxf8
5. Nxe6+ winning an exchange ultimately
Well, what about
1 Bh7 kh7
2 g6+ kg8
3 qh3 fg
4 rf8 kf8
5 ne6
This leaves white the exchange ahead.
if 2 .. kg6, then 4 qd3+ kh6 5 qh3 + kg6 6 rg1 mates.
If 3 .. nf6
4 gf fg
5 fg kg7
6 ne6 ( I think)
Is there better? Well, a win is a win, I say.
