bxq seems simple enough unless your diagram is messed up.
White to move
Sort:
Ne7 and then bxq

I think white can play bxq right away: 1.bxq cxd5 2.Qf5+ Rd7 3.Qxd5 and there's no Na5 because of Qa8+ and Qxg8. After say 3...Kb8 you just play 4.Qxc4, black responds Rxg5 and you're up a clear queen.
I went Bxg5 and my opponent resigned. I figured whether Ne7+ or Bxg5 I was taking the queen.
I ran it through a stockfish engine and those were the two best moves with Bxg5 being “best”.
I figured the rest of the play to be
...Rxg5 2. Ne7+ Kd7 3. Qxc6+ Kxe7 4. Rae1+ Kf8 5. Qxc4
Or he could block the Rae1+ with a Knight or rook on e5 but I’d come out up in the exchange.

I played this game yesterday and came to this point. I stared at this for longer than I probably should have before making my move.
White played d4...
black responed with what you see, Nc4
What is your move and why?
