I like:
1. QxN
2. … PxQ 3. BxP+ kg8 4. RxQ
2. … RxQ 3. BxP+
Wins decisive material at least.

How about 1…Qxd4?
On either 2. cxd4 or 2. Rxd4, Bxe6
That’s what I saw, too, Kerry. You beat me to it!
hehe… I beat you only by 1 or 2 minutes! (mind you, I typed a little more than you too…)
Black’s poor knight was clearly overloaded…

All motifs point toward Nxd4. That queen on the rook’s file and king on the bishop’s diagonal are just aaaking for it! Good stuff.
This was easy, but I maybe wouldn’t find it over the board.
1. Qxd4, cxd4 2. Bxe6+
