The Process of Decision Making in Chess Volume 2: Practice positions and solutions. Position 2.3

Here is position 2.3 from volume 2- Goals and Plans , enjoy:

Diagram 2.3- factors that black can attack: g5 pawn (with h6), knight (with Rf8 or Rd6), queen (with Qe3, Qe5, Qa3, Be1, f4; we also must be aware of options that are currently impractical since that can possibly change), king (with Bb6, Qc5, Qe3). We can continue similarly to other pawns and the opponent’s rooks.

Challenge: it’s clear that black is under threat of Nxe8. Can you find the solution to this position using your findings of the attackable factors?
 

I would attack the king with Qc5, so the rook on e8 is free to move across the e-file.

I see Qe3+, Qxe3, Rxe

The problem with 1... Qe3+ 2. Qxe3 Rxe3 is that it hangs our h-pawn: 3 Nxh7. 

The problem 1... Rf8 is that it loses to the fork: 2. Nd7+. 

There is also a tactic for white in the position.

Let's say black plays Rh8.  Overprotecting the pawn that could later be attacked later.  

What is whites next move?  Simple.  Nd7+ and if blacks King goes to the corner... cxb7+ then King takes then it's lights out after Qf3+ because the only saving move for black would be to prolong checkmate one move by giving up his queen.  

If black runs his king to c8 instead, the same cxb7+ and it's the same thing if black takes the pawn so he has to take the Knight that is on d7.

black to move

1.  ... Rd1+ 

2.  Ke3 Qb3!!

and as you can see black is going to get mated pretty soon.  The answer I believe involves black giving up a pawn or an exchange.  But, this seems appealing:

1. ... Qc5+

2.  Kh1 Re3

3. Qf2 Bb6

What can play the following

4.  Rbc1 

However, this forces black to go where he wanted to go anyway.

4.  Rbc1?? Qe5

Qe5 comes with a threat to take the queen so white has to respond to this.

I think the most straightforward approach is Rce1

Then

h6

then the following

1.  Rxe3 Bxe3

2.  Re1 hxg5

3. Qxe3 Qxf6

and now black is up a pawn!!  Yipee!!
