Here is the EPD for this position:
6q1/1k6/p1b1p3/1pn1Bp2/2PNp2P/P4PP1/2P3B1/5RK1 w - -

Crafty sees the moves 1. fxe4, 1. cxb5, and 1. Nxc6 with a nice + score.  I'm
not sure what solution you were looking for, but it seems white has at least 3
decent/good moves to choose from.

Here's some output for the different moves:

depth  time   score  PV
13->   4:21   1.62   1. fxe4 Bxe4 2. cxb5 Kb6 3. bxa6 Bxg2
                     4. Kxg2 Qa8+ 5. Kh2 Qe4 6. a7 Kb7 7.
                     Bf6 Kxa7 8. c4

13->   4:16   1.98   1. cxb5 axb5 2. fxe4 Bxe4 3. Rb1 Bxg2
                     4. Rxb5+ Ka6 5. Rxc5 Be4 6. c4 Qf7
                     7. a4 Kb6

13->   1:32   1.34   1. Nxc6 Kxc6 2. Re1 Qh7 3. cxb5+ axb5
                     4. Rd1 Nd7 5. fxe4 Nxe5 6. exf5+ Kc5
                     7. fxe6 Qxc2
