    1. Qa4+- double attack

    1…Nd4 interference 2. exf7+ (2. Qxd4 Qxd4-+) Kh7 3. Re2 Nxe2-+

    1…Rg5 exploiting the pin and threatening to win the queen 2. Kg2 (2. h6 Qg6) Rxh5

    1…g5 2. gxh5 gxf4 and the connected passed pawns give black the endgame advantage

    1…Qxc8 2. Qxc8 Re1+ 3. Kh2 Re8 4. Qc1 Bxh6 5. Qxh6 Re5 picking up the pawn on d5. Black is playing for a win.

      The first 4 solutions are correct! However, there is something better than 1.Qxc8 on the last tactic.
