    Nf6 BxN
    Qh6 Kg8
    Qxg6 Kf8
    Qxf6 Kg8
    Qxf5

    and white is three pawns up.

    To #1:
    If you do 5. Qxf5, then 5…Qxf5 and you lose a rook.

    An alternative is to 5.e5.

    Another path to the same result is

    Qh4+ Kg8
    Nf6+ Bxf6
    Qxf6 followed by Qxg6 and e5

    Mark

    1. Nf6 looks neatest.
    You don’t have to end blundering a rook, and the line remains concinving anough in undressing the kingside.

    eg.

    1. Nf6 Bxf6
    2. Qh6+ Kg8
    3. Qxg6+ Kf8
    4. Qxf6+ Kg8
    5. Qg6+ Kf8
    6. Qh6+ Kg8
    7. Rc1

    etc.
