Nf5
1. Nxf5 leads to a sure win!
1.Ng5 and knight is immune due to 1…gxf5 2. Rg3# and is threatening 2. Nh6#.
Giving space for the king by 1..Rxd8 fails to 2. Rxd8 Be8 3. Rxe8#
1…Re8 maybe the most stubborn defence, but then 2. Rxe8 Be8 3. Rd8 loses the bishop as 3..Kf8 is met by 4.Bg7 leading to checkmate.
Nf5 is the killer…
