Yes. And if he's practised a bit, he probably could.

No. It's Nxe6 because if you said e6 no one would know whether that meant with the rook or knight.

I know, I was just too lazy to repeat everything which was correct. Sorry for the confusion.

1. Nxe6 Pxe6 2. Qh5+ picks up the bishop and probably a pawn. That's what I can see but it took a while. Cool question.

Yes, White can take advantage of Black's unprotected dark-square Bishop.

1. Nxe6. And if 1...fxe6, 2. Qh5+ forks King and Bishop. The latter is lost.
