Interresting position Keith.
answer in invisible ink: (#DEE3E7) Select to view.
=> Begin invisible answer.
it's the best move, though you have to prove that black can't do better.
the direct line is the following:
1.exf6 Qxf4 (Bd6 or Nd6?)
( Nd6, Nxp, NxN, QxN the bishop pins the Knight and wins)
( Bd6, Bxd6, and black is no better off)
( e5? Don't panick Bxe5 and black is finished)
2.Nxe6 Nxe6
(and now white has to trap blacks Knight)
3.Qxe6+ Kb8 4.Ne2!
(Finding this move is the key!)
(and black can't protect his Knight)
4... Qc7 5.Rd7 Qc8 6.Qxf5 gxf6 7.Qxf5
(etc etc)
=> End invisible answer.
-(edited invisible ink color from #EFEFEF to #DEE3E7)

saves me having to figure it out myselftellymetwise wrote:Move 4 is like a tied up end of a tripwire. That's why I exclamated it.
And I like tripwires
