BxN!! wins a piece.
For example
1)Bxf4 exB Qd4+ forking B and K is obvious..
if then Be5 then simply Nxe5 with discovery threat
2)Bxf4 Bxf3 Bxh6+ and white is still up a piece
3)Bxf4 Bc5+ Bxh6+ King anywhere and Qc2 preserves the advantage
Tell me what I missed.

1. Bf4 exf4
2. Qd4 fork!
1. Bxf4 exf4
2.Qd4+ forking
Bxf4 will win a piece in the exchange?
1. Bxf4! exf4
2. Qd4+! Be5
3. Nxe5 1-0 (Piece up)
2. … K**/f6
3. Rxe8 Rxe8
4. Qxd6 1-0 (Piece up)
1. … Bxf3!?
2. Bxh6+!! K**
3. gxf3 1-0 (Piece up)
I can’t find it.
I might well be proven wrong here, as the tactical combinations are huge in this position, but I think white can win with something like:
1.Bxf4 exf4
2.Qd4+ Be5
3.Rxe5 Rxe5
4.Re1
winning the pinned rook and ending up a minor piece ahead
the only try I see for black is
4…Bxf3 but now
5.Rxe5 and if, let’s say 5…Bc6 then
6.Re8+ followed by Rxa8
and, of course, if 5…Kh7 6.gxf3
Now, I’m sure I missed something
Just guessing, Rxd6, Nxe5. It’s the only thing I can see that half-way makes sense to me, and it doesn’t look very good to me. Interested in seeing the answer.
Bxf4 exf4
Q-d4+
and white wins the dark square bishop.
Looks like g3xf4 causes Black to lose a piece. If Black recaptures with the pawn at e5, White gives check at d4 and wins a piece. If Black doesn’t recapture with the pawn but plays Bc5 then White plays Bxe5ch.
