The rook on g1 is a problem and after >something like Bf4+ Kf1 Bxh6 Qxh5 Bg7 things look complicated. In my previous >post I forgot the short life span of the black knight on h5 :o). Hello Mogens, I think we both agree that Bxb2+ is not the correct move here. And I think we both agree the rook at g1 has to be eliminated. After the King moves out of check and Bxg1- KxB the Black Knight at h5 can retreat to g7. Also, the + 2 score for White is without merit as far as I can see. As for Bf4+, King moves, BxB, Qxh5, then Black can play Bg7 with as you said rather well: complications. :-) However, try to refute that move and bring home a victory for White.
