Nh5! if Kxh5 then Rh8# / and the king can’t move, therefore next move is checkmate! I needed about 30 sec
1.Nh5!! is to be followed by Nf6 and then White seizes the fine outpost by Nd5.
Rh8 & Rb8
Nh5 and next Rh8 check mate
Nh5. Sometimes it pays to go through every possible move (of course it’s much easier in puzzles when you know there is one there).
Nh5 to block h6 and g7 sqares. No matter what black plays he can not avoid Rh8 checkmate. However black can prolong the mate by playing Rd4+ where white has to take the rook with pawn.
1. Nh5 threatening 2. Rh8#
if 1… Kxh5, then 2. Rh8#

I wish people would stop awarding themselves exclamation marks for the correct answer… I don’t think you are qualified to know what move deserves a question mark unless you are at least an IM.
