offense and defense the best move

I have stared at this for a bit.  I can see that there are a good deal of chances for white from here.

As it is blacks move, how do we respond to Qd8?

I can't see the path from there.

It's not about winning the queen. There's a checkmate with Nh6.

Wow, that was nice! (I would definitely have resigned the opening position).  Who came up with this?


I borrowed this item from a chess mag I read a long time ago. I just rememberred posting it this time.

 

as far as I can remember, this position is from Giplis' dream (I hope I got the spelling right). it's based on a real game except for the pawn on h7.

 

this was the real position in the real game.

or was it Gipsilis?

nice one...

It looked like a lost position to me! That was a thoroughly thought out Rook SAC.

Thanks for the info! That's probably Gipslis you're thinking of...he played Tal a bunch of times (he dreamt this position?!).
