Looks simple or am I missing something?
1. Nf6+ Bxf6 (only move). 2. Qxf7+ Bg7 3. Nxg5+ hxg5 4. h6 and there is no defense against mate, right?
1. Nf6+ Bxf6 2. Qx f7+ Bg7 , and there are quite a lot of variations after that..
1. Nf6+! Bf6 2. Qf7+ Bg7 3. Ng5+ hg5 4. h6 winning

1 Nf6+ Bxf6
2 Qxf7+ Bg7
3 Nxg5+ hxg5
4 h6 and mate next
Looks like a mate in 6!?
1. Nf6+, Bxf6 2. Qxf7+, Bg7 3. Nxg5+!, hxg5 4. h6 and black gets mated.
Have I overlooked anything?
1. Nf6 Bf6
2. Qf7 Bg7
3. Ng5 hg5
4. h6 and there is no answer for black since white will take at g7 with mate, regardless of how black protects the bishop.
4. …..Rg8
5. hg7#
nf6+
zzz
something along the lines of:
Nf6+ Bxf6
Qxf7+ Bg7
with the idea of
Ng5+ hg5
h6
getting the piece back with additional threats
i’m guessing it’s something like that

1. Nf6+ … #
1. Nf6+ B:f6
2. Q:f7+ Bg7
3. N:g5+ hg
4. h6
and hg+ will be fatal in one way or another.
Sacrifice both knights.
