2. Nxh6+ wins
Crash the gate with 1. Rxg7+Rxg7 2. Nh6+
1. Rxg7+ Rxg7
2. Nf6+ Kf8
3. NxQ RxQ
4. Qf5
now the threat is to advance the h-pawn.
if 4… Ke7
5. h6 Rh8
6. h7
the pawn cannot be taken because of Bxf6+
black is tied up. if
6…. Bd4 (or similar random aimless move)
7. Qg6 Bc5
8. Nxf6+ Rxf6
9. Qg7+
and 10. Qxh8
I would like to win queen and pawn for rook and knight by Rxg7: if black take with queen the knight takes, if with rook the knight forks, and if doesn’t take rook takes queen.
h6 wins
