    1. Bxh6 Nxh6 2. Rxh6 Kxh6 3. Qh4+ Kg7 4. Qh7#
    1. Bxh6 Nxh6 2. Rxh6 Rh8 3. Rxh8 ( 3. Nh5+ Kxh6) wins a pawn

    1. Rxh6 Nxh6 2. Bxh6+ Kxh6 [Kh8 3. Bxf8 Rxf8 5. Qh3+ etc] 3. Qh4+ Kg7 4. Qh7#
    1. Rxh6 Rh8 2. Nh5+ Kg8 3.Rxg6+ fxg6 4. Qxg6+ Kf8 5. Qf6+ Kg8 6. Qxe6+ Kh7 7. Qxf5+ Kg8 8. Qxc8+ etc.
    1. Rxh6 Rh8 2. Nh5+ Kg8 3.Rxg6+ Kf8 wins two pawns

    So 1. Rxh6 looks better.
