White to move

How about, Bh6. If the knight takes the queen, the Bxg7. King moves to g8, then Bxe5.

Not really sure, but maybe Bxg7, again Kg8. Bxf6, Kf7. Then Qxe6. Ke8, Qxe7.

Your post was second on the list. Timestamp the posts next time with seconds.

Plus the Ninja posted? threw me off. Ninja training from chessbase?
