White to move. What is the best continuation for White?

1.Bxg6! is a good start. 🙂
1. Nxg6+ hxg6 (1…Kg7 2. Nxf8+/Ne7+ wins.) 2. Rh3+ Kg7 (2… Qh7 3. Rxh7+ Kxh7 4. Qxg6 mates.) 3. Qxg6 mate.
The position is extremely sharp, keep in mind that White’s first rank has to be defended against a mate. 1.Nxg6 Qxg6(!), etc. Nevertheless White prevails. But that is not an easy one!
seemed easy to me. whats so sharp about the moves..

Umesh is right
1.Nxg6 hxg6
1…Qxg6 2.Rxf8 Kg7 3.Bxg6+-
2.Rh3 Qh7
2…Kg7 3.Qxg6 mate
3.Rxh7 Kxh7 4.Qxg6 Kh8 5.Qh7 mate
If you think it isn’t sharp, give the perfect(!!) and complete(!!) analysis after 1.Nxg6 Qxg6. Either you are a stupid computer addict who does not know the difference between human and computer chess, or you are an arrogant wannabe-master who will never be Grandmaster, oh! I feel so sorry for you, you little stupid idiot…

You have no right to call someone an “idiot” just because he thinks a position is not sharp, or whatever other opinion the person has.
Instead of coming to this chess site, why don’t you go to an “insult” site, and have a day?
Anon @ 5:58 – what is wrong with you, man? Wolverine’s assessment is fully correct, given that the solution is fairly straightforward. Without that forced sequence of (winning) moves it would be a hell of a position to play on but the way it is it simply is, well, easy. Better have decaf next time…
By “sharp” I think the first poster meant that the all of white’s moves must be bold, forcing and must follow a specific course, for white to succeed because of the threatened mate in 2. Not that it is difficult to solve.
What mate in two? Is the b1 square guarded by the Bishop at d3. Unless it gets captured, there is no mate threat. So, White can afford one non-forcing move.
