  1. exf7+ Kh7 (Kf8 2. Qd6+) 2. f8N+ Kg8 3. Be6+ Qxe6 (forced) 4. Qxe6+ (off the f file!) Kxf8 looks won for white

  1. exf7+ is right.
  1…..Kf8. 2. Qh8+. Kxf7/e7. 3. Qxc8. Winning easily as Black does not even have the Rf1+ due to Bxf1 (only improvement over Karthik solution)
  1…..Kh7. 2. f8=N+. Now if
  2…..Qxf8. 3. Qxf8 and white wins easily as f1 is controlled by Bh3.
  2…..Kg8. 3. Be6+. Qxe6. 4. Qxe6+. Kxf8. 5. Qxd5. And white wins easily.
