1. Nf5 (1. … Bxf5 2. Rxd8# or 1. … Qxb4 2. Rxd8#) Rxd1+ 2. Rxd1 Qxb4 (or 2. … Bxf5 3. Rxd8#) 3. Rxd8# Black has no options.
Nf5 looks interesting.

Slight correction to my previous post:
1. Nf5 and if 1. … Bxf5 then 2. Rxd8+ Kg7 3. Qxe7 and white wins. The same applies to the other variations where Bxf5.

3. Rd8+! Kg7
4. Qxe7 1-0

Santa Klaus is playing White, and brings a white Queen with the “horse” move Nf5. Go under the tree to pick up your gift! }:-)
lol
1. Nf5!
If 1…Qxb4
Then 2. Rxd8++
Any other move loses the queen, for example
1…Re8
2. Nxe7 Rxe7
3. Qxe7+
I see Nf5 in about 5 seconds:
1. Nf5
The threats are Nxe7 and Rxd8#. Because of the pin on the black queen, the rook at d8 is unprotected. The best I can see for black is to exchange at d1 first, but the material loss is still high since white has the same basic threat after the recapture:
1. …..Rd1 (Bf5 2.Rd8 Kg7 3.Qe7)
2. Rd1 Bf5 (this or get mated)
3. Rd8 Kg7
4. Qe7 Rd8
5. Qd8 winning a queen for a knight overall.
1) Nf5! Rxd1+ 2) Rxd1, Bxf5 3)Rd8+, Qxe7 and it all over for black
1.Nf5 Bxf5
2.Rxd8+ Kg7
And it`s pretty well over.
1.Nf5 attacks the queen and threatens Rxd8 mate. It doesn’t help Black to exchange rooks even though it’s with check.
