There is a simple manoeuvre which wins easily:
1. Bxh6! Rxh6 (else piece down)
2. Rxd6!! exd6 (else piece down)
3. Qe3+!
4. Qxh6 1-0 (White is a piece up)
There is a more complex one which is not so straightforward:
1. Rxd6!! exd6 (else piece down)
2. Qe3+ Be6
3. Bxc6+ Kf7
4. Qd4 with a very strong attack, but not sure if it is a win
Or
2. … Kf7/Kf8
3. Qe7+ Kg8
4. Qxd6+ or Nd5! with again a very strong attack but not sure if it is a win
Even
2. Bxc6!! is very strong too

I don’t know how much of this the players saw. Although I could see up to Black’s 3rd move in the mainline, I had to start moving the pieces around at that point.
This line gets more interesting the further along one gets into it.
Mainline:
1. Rxd6 exd6 2. Bxc6 Qxc6 3. Qxb8+ Bc8 4. Ne4 O-O 5. Bxh6 fxe4 6. Rc1 e3 [nice try] 7. Qb3+ d5 8. Qxe3
Deviating from the mainline on Black’s 2nd move, if 2. .. Bxc6?? 3. Qe7# and if 2. .. O-O 3. Bxd7 Rb7 4. Bxc8 Rxa7 5. Nb5 Ra5 6. Be6+ Kg7 7. Nxd6
Deviating from the mainline on Black’s 3rd move, if 3. .. Qc8 4. Qxd6 Ng8 (4. .. Rh7 5. Qxg6+ Rf7 6. Bxh6) 5. Qe5+ winning the rook.
Deviating from the mainline on Black’s 4th move, if 4. .. fxe4 5. Rc1 Qxc1+ 6. Bxc1 and if 4. .. Kf7 we can get an interesting mating line:
4. .. Kf7 5. Rc1 Bb7 6. Qxh8 Qxe4 7. Rc7+ Ke6 8. Qe8+ Kd5 9. Qb5+ Kd4 (9. .. Ke6 10. Re7#) 10. Rc4#
Black can also try as his 4th move: 4. .. Qxe4
4. .. Qxe4 5. Qxc8+ Kf7 6. Qxh8
Deviating from the mainline, after Black tries the crafty 6. .. e3, White can go terribly wrong with 7. Rxc6:
7. Rxc6? exf2+ 8. Kh2 (8. Kf1?? Bh3#) 8. .. f1=Q

1.Rxd6 (winning temporaly a piece)
… exd5
2.Bxc6!! (if bishop takes, then white mates in one)now rook on b8 is unprotect because of first white move.
… Qxc6
3.Qxb8+ Qc8
4.Qe5 white wins
sorryyyyy
4.Qxd6 lol
if 3…. Bc8 (the best for black)
then 4.Ne4 (if black takes then Rc1 put white in advantage, all right?)
Thank you
