If .. fxg5, then RxR wins the exchange
If .. RxR, then NxB leaves white a piece up
1. Ng5 wins
1. … Rxh6
2. Nxf7+ K/any
3. N7xh6
or
1. … fxg5
2. Rxh8+ K/any

thats a nice move.. im sure the opponent would hate to see that unleashed.. those horses are such nasty little bastards 😉
Both of black’s rooks and his white square bishop are undefended. The black K, and KR stand in a “knight fork” relationship and on this key square (f7) stands an undefended bishop. The apparently undefended white K rook can also be forked from f7.
“Loose pieces drop off”, as the saying goes, so let’s see if we can spot a double attack…
1. Ng5! is such and wins material since if 1. … Rxh6 2. Nxf7+ Ke8 3. N7xh6+-
Ng5..
I am sure u mean Ng5, right?
Ng5, etc. winning material on h8 or N:f7+ N:h6 (Bb3+ is meaningless after K:b3)
1 Ng5
If … Rxh6 2 Nxf7+ & 3 Nxh6 winning a piece
If … Rf8 to defend the B then 2 Nxf7+ Rxf7 3 Rh8+ & 4 Rxa8 winning a R
Ng5! wins a piece
1.Ng5! looses the exchange
1…. Rf8
2.Nxf7 Rxf7
3.Rh8+
Ng5!

Ra-h1 is win for white
Ng5 seems more to the point for me as Black will lose a piece.
Ng5 is much better here,
this wins instantantly since
Rh6 lead to Nf7+ and Nh5
thats leaves white with a
piece up
Ng5 looks better
1)Ng5! and now:
1)…Rf8 2)Nxf7+ Rxf7 3)Rh8+ Kd7 4)Rxa8+-
or
1)…Rxh6 2)Nxh7+ Kd7 3)Nxh6+-
or
1)…fxg5 2)Rxh8+ Be8 3)Ng7 Kd7 4)Rxe8 Rxe8 5)Nxe8 Kxe8 6)a5! +-
1. Ng5 wins the exchange since the B is hanging with check, and 1…Rf8 2. N:f7 R:f7 3. Rh8+ is unplayable.
Knight to g5 and black can resign
