White to move. How should White proceed?

1.Bf5!
1… Qxd1
2. Rxd1+ followed by Bxg4

White can take Black’s Bishop without punishment.
The unprotected queen at e5 allows
1. Bf5 Qe1 (Re7 or Qe7 is same)
2. Re1 Kd8
3. Bg4 winning a piece.
Bf5! wins a piece, But Bc6 fails to . . . Qe2+!
1.Bf5 wins a piece.
The similar 1.Bc6 does not work due to 1…Qe2+ 2.Qxe2 Bxe2+ 3.Kxe2 bxc6.
Bf5 ! loods good,using the pin on black’s Queen
Bc6 looks good in terms of winning material. Phil
Not quite as easy as it first looks. The first move that occurred to me was 1 Bc6?! but 1…Be2! is adequate for Black.
1 Bf3?! also does not get the job done after 1…Qe1 2 Re1 Be6 =
Only with 1 Bf5! does White win, as Black has both his bishop and queen hanging and 1…Qe1 2 Re1 + gives White time to mop up the bishop.

Bc6
If 1.Bc6 Be2+
with 1. Bf5 instead White gains material.
Bc6!
Now Fressinet is stronger and he could not obtain such a position…
Anyway Happy Birthday Mister Chernin!

Bf5
Bf5 is better than Bc6

Wouldn’t Bf3 win the bishop outright without exchanging bishop for rook?
