*update (4/28) with answer*
1. Qc2! was my answer - we practically force 1...f5 when statically White has a very stable advantage since Black is left with a passive light bishop with all the center pawns on light squares.
1. exf6!? also looks very interesting with the idea of controlling e5 - perhaps Black is forced to play 1...gxf6!?... though I do have my concerns whether Black can activate the light bishop via an evenetual ...b6 and ...Ba6
