It is indeed a fascinating position. Here's a look at some of the other

(2...Qc6? 3.Rd1! +-)
3.Rd1 d4
(3...Rf5 4.Rxd5! Rxd5 5.Qh5+ g6 6.Qxh7 forces mate)
4.h3 Bg3
(4...g6 5.Qe5 +-)
5.Qd3! a6
(5...Bf4 6.Qxh7 Bxg5 7.Qg6+ +-)
6.e7 +-]
2.h4!
[2.Rd1 c6!
(2...Qxg5 3.Nxc7+ Ke7 4.Nxd5+ Kd6
(4...Ke8 5.Qb5+ mates)
5.e7 Re8 6.Nf6+ +-)
3.h4
(3.Bh4? Rf4 -+)
3...Qb8! =]
2...Qg3
[2...Rf5 3.Qxe5 Rxe5 4.Nxc7+ +-]
3.Rd1! Rf2
[3...d4 4.Rd3 Rf2 5.Qh5+ g6 6.Rxg3 Rf1+ 7.Kh2 Bxg3+ 8.Kxg3 gxh5
9.Nxc7+ Kf8 10.e7+ and mates]
[3...c6 4.Rd3 Qb8 5.Rf3 +-]
4.Qxf2!
[4.Nxc7+ Qxc7 5.Qb5+ Qc6 6.Rxd5 Rf6! =]
4...Bxf2
[4...Qxf2 5.Nxc7+ Kf8 6.e7+ +-]
