Black is Magnus Carlsen. It is his move. This was from his game earlier today. How should he proceed?

Nxh3+ followed by Qxf2+?
in which tournament is Magnus Carlsen playing now by the way? Or are we talking about a match on ICC?
Not sure, but how about:
1. Nxh3+ gxh3
2. Qxf2+ Kh2
3. Qxc2
1.Nxh3+ Kh2!? 2.Nf4+ Kg1 3.Qg4!
1.Nxh3+ Kh2
2.Nxf2+ Kg1
3.Qh1++
oops
1.Nxh3+ Kh2
2.Nf4+ Kg1
3.Qg4 winning the exchange
1…Nxh3+!
After this the Kh1 or Kh2 is loser… The only way to white is gxh3
2.gxh3 Qxf2
3.Kh1 Qxc2
Black won a pawn and the White King is in a very danger position…
1…Nxh3+!
2.gxh3 Qxf2
3.Kh1 Qf1+
4. Kh2 Rf2+
5 Kg2 Rg2+
6 Kh4 Qf6+ with mate to follow
oops again
5 Kg3, not Kg2
the tournament is up in Rejavik Iceland. big tournament. great participation from countries all over the globe.

ICC does relay the moves from most tournaments of interest. ICC membership is great. they did relay the moves of the Carlsen game and some other games. they have games from the womens world chess championship. they just completed the US Championships all games relayed. and they did Linares and Corus and they will be doing Mtel and others. very low cost. I highly recommend membership at ICC.
Best I see is:
1. . . Nh3+
2. Kh2 Nf4+
3. Kg1 Qf2+
4. Kf2 Nd5+
5. Ke3 Nc3
pickup of 3 pawns, decent chances in the endgame.
