1. Bf6 should be sufficient. I’d like to see a better move.
1. Bh7 Sh7 2. Bf6 Sf6 3. ef6
1. Bf6 g6 (black has no other defence against 2.Rxg7)
2. Qh6
Let’s try
1. Lxh7 Nxh7
2. Bf6
and white wins
Bxh7+ Nxh7
Bf6 Nxf6
exf6
this one was more difficult..
A simple position which is made difficult by the fact that black is threatening mate on ‘g2’. The natural Rh3 is not possible because of the threat. I feel winning is
1. Bxh7+! Nxh7
2. Bf6! threatening mate.
I tried out a few lines. But white wins atleast an exchange up in all the variations.
Bxf7+ NxB
Bf6 NxB
exN g6
Qh6 and mate next move

1.The best move is Bh6
Bf6 is the right idea, but too hasty, because it is met by Ng6, slowing down whites plan too much. So therefore start with
1. Bxh7+ (deflecting blacks knight so it never gets to g6)
1. … Nxh7
2. Bf6 Nxf6
3. exf6 g6
4. Qh6
Another variety is:
1. Bxh7+ Kh8
2. Bf6! (or Be4+ taking the queen) Ng6
3. Bxg6+ Kg8
4. Be4 Qxe4
5. Rxg7+ Kf8
6. Qh8#
1.Gxh7 Sxh7
2.Gf6! Wee7
3.Wxg7+ Kf8
4.Hxh7 itd. 1-0
