2. c5 Qxg3+
3. fxg3 Rg6

Kh2 (Qg2 I think Nf5 is best) Rxg3 Kxg3 Nf5+ Kf2 and it's either Nxe3 followed by f5 or Nh6

these are the three canidate moves white has to try to defend
Try to refute Qg2 which is by far the most beautiful

rook taking n g3 is a really bad sacrifice tho.

so what about after bxh3, qxh3, nf5! to get ready to control the g3 pawn.
