This is what I would do:
1. Qg6 fxg6 (this forces black to take my queen because if he does not, I can
move queen to h7 for mate)
2. Nxg6++
Most people do not think about giving up your queen in order to win the game,
because most of us think about how to win with our queen.
A lesson to search all possibilities when looking for a strategic plan.

Okay, here is my guess.
* Yoda says "do not guess, know!" <grin>
1. Ng6+ fxg6
2. Qxg6... does not matter what black moves
* How about 2... Bg8?
3. Qh7++
White queen is backed up by two pieces... knight on f6 and the bishop on c2.
* But 3... Bxh7 loses the Queen anyway.
So how is that?
* You are close but maybe you should consider other move orders.

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?
