Nf3 followed by Qf6 is what I would do… but unable to figure out any great shot in this position 🙁
Nf3 followed by Qf6
Typo for 2…Qg6, right?
An idea that I had was to play 1…Qg6 2.Kxh4 Nf6, with the idea of mate on g4, and if 3.Rg3 then mate on h5 instead. Also the bishop on g1 is loose. I don’t have time to look at this further – maybe someone else could develop the idea if it seems sensible?
The correct move is …Nxh2!
Could you explain more about 1…Nxh2? Why not just take back with 2.Bxh2 ?

Indeed. The vast majority of posters here are thoughtful and constructive. Every now and then, though, we get a self-absorbed seven year old who thinks he’s found an audience.
On further thought: apologies to most seven year olds who may be reading this. The vast majority of you are terrific people.
I think it might be simpler than what I saw so far
1… NxRf3
2.BxNf3 Qg6
3.BxNg4 h5
Given white’s poor pawn structure and exposed king, a rook might be worth more than the knight and the bishop. Black starts with a material disadvantage anyway
