I don’t see anything better than Bxf8 Rxf8 Bxe6 for white. Problem is after Qxe6 Qxe6 fxe6 Rxf8 Kg7 white cannot keep the exchange he is up, because black always has Ne4 or g5 if nescessary. Position seems to be equal after all
1. Bxf8 Rxf8 (1…… Kxf8 2. Qh8+ Ke7 3. Rxf7+ Kd8 4. Qxe8+! Kxe8 5. Rf8+ Ke7 6. R1f7# ) 2. Bxe6! and white is threatening the ‘f7’ and ‘g6’ pawns. Black’s only chance is 2……. Nxf3, but after 3. Qg6+ Kh8 4. Qxh5+ Kg8 5. Qg4+! Kh8 6. Qh3+! Kg8 7. Bxd7! and white follows with gxf3 or Rxf3. 1-0

1. Bxf8 Kxf8 *
2. Qh8+ Ke7
3. Rxf7+ Kd8
4. Qxe8+ Kxe8
5. Rf8+ Ke7
6. R1f7#

4. Rf8+ Kg7
5, R1f2 Ne4
6. R2f4
followed by R8f6, h3
1-0
** 2. Nf5 looks interesting but
doesn’t seem to work:
2. Nf5 exf5
(if 2… gxf5 3. Rg3 and mate)
3. e6 Rc7
now what?
does not work after 1… Rxf8 is:
2. Rg3 Nxf1
3. Rxg6+ fxg6
4. Qxg6+ Rg7 **
5. Bxe6+ K
Bxf8 and, after …Rxf8, N-f5 wins. If black captures gxf, then R-g3 is deadly. If exf, then Qxg6ch is strong.
Sweet!

This puzzle is “wrong”, since there are no winning combo, just draw.
1. Bxf8 Rxf8
2. Bxe6 Qxe6
3. Qxe6 fxe6
4. Rf8+ Kg7
5, R1f2 Ne4
6. R2f4 g5
and white has to give back the exchange to avoid perp.
