Qxg5,, made possible by the e5 pawn. Mate follows if black defends rook, so black is forced into a very bad exchange
1. Q:g5 R:g5
2. R:g5+ Kf7
3. Rh7+ wins

With BQ placement like this I start to look for winning it with eg a R check or at least threatening. Eventually hit on
1.Qxg5! threatening mate.
if 1….RxQ 2.RxR+ Rf7 3.Rh7+ and BQ goes
if 1….Qf7 2.Qh6+! Kg8 3.Qh8#
0-0-0

4. Rxc7
1. Qxg5 Rxg5
2. Rxg5 Kf7
3. Rh7+ K/any
4. Rxc7
and while is a full rook up.
1-0
if
1. Qh3, then 1… Qxe5 may hold, at least for some time.

1.Qxg5 Rxg5 2.Rxg5 Kf7 3.Rh7 1-0
1.Qxg5 Rxg5 2.Rxg5 Kf7 3.Rh7 1-0
1.Qxg5! leads to a nice skewer if Black recaptures.
