White to move. How should White proceed?

Bh6+! =)
1. Bh6+
if ..KxB 2. Qxf6#
if ..Kh8 2. Qxf6+ Qg7 3. Qg7#
The position is very bad for Black. Bh6+ and it’s over. If Kh8, checkmate in 2. If Kg6, only prolongs the inevitable.
Sorry for my english.
Bh6+,Kh8; Qxf6+, Qg7; Qxg7#;
Alternately
Bh6+, Kxh6; Qxf6#
Bh6+ Kg6
gxh5 Kxh6
Qf6+ Kxh5
Rh1 Kg4
Rh4++
Bh6+ wins because it displaces the king from f6: the king can’t take the bishop or else Qxf6# and Kg5 is met with hxg5+ Kxh6, Qxf6+ Kxh5, Rh1+ with mate to follow.
Bh6 check
1. Bh6+!
1. Bh6+! Leads to mate in five, at the very most. 1. … Kg6 2. gh5+ KxBh6 3. Qxf6+ Kxg5 4. Rh1+ Kg4 5. Rh4#
bh6 wins the game for white.
– HH
Bxh6+
1. Bxh6+ – Rg6
2. gxh5+ – Kxh6
3. Qxf6+ – Kxh5
4. Rh1+
1. Bh6+ Kg6
2. gxh5+ Kxh6
3. Qxf6+ Kxh5
4. Rh1+ Qh3
5. Rxh3+ Kg4
6. Rh4#
1. … Kxh6
2. Qxf6#
1. … Kh8
2. Qxf6+ Qg7
3. Qxg7#
greets, jan
1.Bh6+ Kxh6
2.Qf6#
OR
1.Bh6+ Kh8
2.Qf6 Qg7
3.Qxg7#
Seems to be mate in 3:
1. Bh6+ Kh8 (Kxh6 Qxf6#)
2. Qxf6+ Qg7
3. Qxg7#
1. Bh6+ Kg6 2. h5+ Kxh6 3. Qxf6+ Kxh5 4. Rh1+ Kg4 5. Rh4++
Keep popularizing chess Susan!
1. Bh6+ is winning after Kh8, Kg6 or Kh6:
1. Bh6+ Kxh6
2. Qxf6#
1. Bh6+ Kh8
2. Qxf6+ Qg7
3. Qxg7#
1.Bh6
Bh6+
Providing the longest possible line for black. Other moves lead to faster checkmate.
1. Bh6+ Kg6 2. gxh5+ Kxh6 3. Qxf6+ Kxh5 4. Bd1#
I think
1. Bh6+! Kxh6
2. Qxf6 mate.
If 1. … Kh8
then
2. Qxf6+ Qg7
3. Qxg7 (or Bxg7) mate.
g5xh6
g5xh6
1 Bh6+ Kg6 (forced)
2 hxg5+ Kxh6
3 Qxf6+ Kh5
4 Rh1+
Or 4 Bf7+ which mates in the same number of moves.
4 … Kg4
Interposing the Queen delays mate by a move.
