Qf5!
You have shown this position before. 1. Qf5 is the best move and the position falls apart for the black.
repost, but still a wonderful key!
1.f5 seems to do some damage Qd6
(taking the pawn loses to 1…gxf5 2.Bxf5+ Kh6 3.Bxh7 Qxd7 4.Nxd7)
(stepping back is not safe either 1…Kg8 2.fxg6 fxg6 3.Nxg6 Kg7 4.Nge5 Qxe5 5.Nxe5)
2.fxg6 fxg6
3.Bh5 (not f5 which allows the bishop to counterattack at e2) Be2
4.Bxe2 Ra1
5.Qd3 Rxg1+
6.Kxg1 and White has an advantage
Without anylising….the first thing that comes to mind is the F2 key.
