Rd8
if
.. Rxd8, then Qxf7+ followed by Ng6
if
.. Bxd8 Qg4+ followed by Nxf7
Exactly. also..
If Qb2 then Qf7+, if Be5 then Qg5+ etc.
And for those of us not as good at visualizing: Sharp tactic.
Thanks Nick!
Qg4+ looks more forcing – …Kh8, Nxf7+ Rxf7, Rd8+ (the f6 B is pinned) Rf8, now Rxf8 is mate but Bxf6# looks prettier because now the Rook is pinned!
Qg4+ looks more forcing…
1.Qg4+? Bg7 and black is fine.
