1. Qf5 with threat of Rxe8+ and if .. f6 2. Qxh7 if ..g6 2. Qf6
Very good
Actually, White played 1.Qc5
Well done
Doesn’t work due to 1…Qg3+ and then 2…Qe1+ with the idea of Ng3+ and fork. So, 1.Qc5 is the winning move!
1. Qc5 is best however 1. Qf5 Qg3+ 2. Kh1 Qc7 (not Qe1+ Nxe1) 3. Qxh7 wins
After Qe1 Nxe1 Ng3 and fork 🙂 so, 1.Qc5 wins
