I did not mean mate in e7 in the second sentence. It was a "Lapsus" after typing the first sentence. I meant mating attack (after taking in e7 and/or in combination with f6 or fxg6 etc.). Anyway, it is not correct what I meant!. I did not see that Qc5 threats Nf5+! Still the position is very promising for White, I think, if you let me change the PV. I will need to check thouroughly but 1.b4 Qxb4 2.Qh6 Nxd4 3.f6 (better than Nd5?) Ne6 4.Nd5 creates a lot of problems to black. After Qc5+ 5. Kh1 the threat is fxe7 - Nf6+ and that looks good. A quick check with Gaviota from this position seems to confirm this. Anyway, 1.h3 is straightforward. if Be2 2.b4! Qxb4 3. Rfb1! is directly winning a piece. However, a cook (or more, P. Berger Qh6 looks interesting too) might exist here.
