1. 1. Bh6 is the best move. This threatens a check next move with Qf8.
Black's Knight on g8 cannot capture the bishop because it's tied down defending
the Queen on f6. If Black responds by trading Queens, 1. ... Qxg7 2. Bxg7,
Bishop takes Queen and the Knight on e5 and Rook on h8 are forked. The Rook
falls next move because it is smothered by it's own Knight on g8 and pawn on
h7.
If instead, 1. ... Kd7 Black recognizes the danger and steps the king up to d7
to avoid the check, White exchanges Queens on f6, 2. Qxf6 Nxf6 and when Black
recaptures with his Knight, from g8, 3. Bg7 the Bishop forks the Knight and
Rook, winning the Knight on f6 and threatening the Knight on e5.
If the Black Queen captures the Bishop, 1. . Qxh6 2. Qxh8 and White has traded
a Bishop for a Rook.
