    (a) 1.Bxf7+ Kxf7 2.Qd5+ Kf8 3.Nxg6#
    (b) 1.Bxf7+ Kf8 2.Qd5 Bxg5 3.Nxg6#
    (c) 1.Bxf7+ Kh8 2.Nxg6+ Kh7 3.Qh5#

    P.S. There is another variation. That is as follows : 1.Bxf7+ Kh7 2.Nxg6 Nf6 ( 2. …Bxg5?? 3.Qh5# ) 3.Bxf6 gxf6 ( , 3. …Bxf6?? 4.Qh5#, or 3. …Kh6 4.Nf8 Bxf6, Bxf8, or Rxf8 5.Qh5# ) 4.Qh5+ Kg7 5.Nxe5 dxe5 or fxe5 ( , 5. …Kf8?? 6.Qh8# , or 5. …Rg8 6.Qg6+ Kf8 7.Qxg8# ) 6.Qg6+ Kf8 ( or 6. …Kh8 7.Qh6# ) 7.Qg8#.

    1. Bxf7+ Kh7 [1…Kxf7 2. Qd5+ Kf8 3. Nxg6# or 1…Kf8 2. Qd5 and mate by 3. Nxg6 is unavoidable] 2. Bxg6+ Kg8 [2…Kh8 3. Qh5+ Kg8 4. Qh7+ Kf8 5. Qh8#] 3. Bf7+ Kf8 [3…Kxf7 4. Qd5+ Kf8 5. Ng6#] 4. Qd5 g6 [4…Bxg5 5. Ng6#] 5. Bh6+ Ng7 6. Ng6#

    P.S. The 1.Bxf7+ Kh7 line has another variation. That is as follows : 1.Bxf7+ Kh7 2.Nxg6 Nf6 3.Bxf6 gxf6 4.Qh5+ Kg7 5.Nxe5 Bd8 6.Qg6+ Kf8 7.Qg8+ Ke7 8.Qe8#.
