1. Bf5 wins. Either blockwith the queen or get mated.
1 Bf5 Kd2 (Ke2 2 Rf2 Kd1 3 Bg4 Nf3 4 Bf3 Qf3 5 Rf3 wins; Qe4 2 Re4) 2 Rf2 Kd1 3 Bg4 Nf3 4 Bf3 Qf3 5 Rf3 wins.

But there is a little problem with this solution. After 1.Bf5+ Kd2 2.Rf2+ Kxd1 3.Bg4+ Nf3 4.Bxf3+ black can play 4. … Ke1 5.Re2+ Kd1! and I can’t see how I can continue.
1. Bf5+
a) Ke2 2. Ng3+ Kxd1 (Kf3 Be4+ +-) 3. Rd4+ Nd3 4. Rxd3+ and Bxg6 +-
b) Kd2 Rd4+ +-
Please correct me if I am mistaken.
1.Bf5+ Kd2
2.Rf2+ Kxd1
3.Bg4+ Nf3
4.Bxf3+ Ke1
5.Re2+ Kd1!
… does look tough to crack, doesn’t it? But White has
6.Bg4!
… for the win.
I am Pitor. Somehow I am not able to sign in. So
I play 6. … Qc8.
1.Bf5+ Kd2
2.Rf2+ Kxd1
3.Bg4+ Nf3
4.Bxf3+ Ke1
5.Re2+ Kd1
6.Bg4 Qc8
7.Re6+ Kd2
8.Rd6+
… does the trick.
Pitor again
Okay. 6. … Qa4 instead?
I was wrong. you’re right.
1.Bf5+ Kd2
2.Rf2+ Kxd1
3.Bg4+ Nf3
4.Bxf3+ Ke1
5.Re2+ Kd1
6.Bg4 Qa4
7.Re4+

Sayan
