    P.S. After 1.Bxf6, if Black plays 1. …fxe6, then 2.fxe6+ Qg6 ( or 2. …Kh8?? 3.Qxh6# or Rxh6# ) 3.Bxg6+ Kxg6 4.Bxg7 Kxg7 or Rxg7 5.Qxh6#.

    1. Bxf6 Nxf6 [1…gxf6 2. Qxh6#] 2. Nxg7! (key move, weakening h6) h5 (the threat, of course, is 3. Qxh6#) 3. Rxh5+ Nh5 4. f6+ Kh8 5. Qxh6#

    A good “lunch hour” puzzle (took me a while!) 🙂
