3….. Bf8
If 1…. BxR 2.Nf6+ white gets Q as well as B if he loses N.
White wins, probably, with 1.Rd6, but the lines provided so far are not accurate defense- black should concede the queen for a rook and knight:
1. Rd6 Bd6! (not 1. …Qd6?)
2. Nf6 Kf7!
I looked at this for a while, the other moves lose more material as far as I can tell. Continuing:
3. Qc6
And black has a choice to make- 3. …Bc5 first, or 3. ….Re6. On balance, I think Re6 is the right choice:
3. ……….Re6
4. Qd7 Kf6
5. Qa7 Bc5
6. Kf1
This should be won by white, though it requires some execution.
I agree that the solution is 1.Rd6+ but for a different reason. Black cannot take back with the Q, or 2.NXQ so black loses his Q for a N. Therefore, the only choice is 1…Bxd6, but through a tactical motif, white immediately forks with 2.Nf6+, thus, winning a R, in return.
