Okay, here is my guess.
1. Ng6+  fxg6
2. Qxg6... does not matter what black moves
3. Qh7++
White queen is backed up by two pieces... knight on f6 and the bishop on c2.

So how is that?

Chris

  Hi Alvin,

  My comments follow yours:

    OK, here are my choices and reasons:
    1. Nxh5, gains a Pawn, but places a Knight on the rim.
    * there is no pawn at h5, maybe you did not reset correctly after a test 
move?

    2. Nxf7+ gains a Pawn and forks the King, in check, with a Queen and a 
Rook. Capture the Queen and lose the Night, still ahead by 7 points and remove 
a major piece from the board.
    * After 1. Nxf7 black takes the Knight 1... Bxf7 foiling your fork.

    3. Trade Knights with: Nxc6 .
    # there is something better.
    Hint: White can force mate in two moves.  Does anyone else have an idea?

    Richard
