I think white has better. 1. Qh4+ Bh7 2. f7 threatening Bf6# and also Qxh7# 2. ... Rxf7 3. gxf7 Kg7 4. Qh6+ Kh8 5. Bf6# (or 3. ... Nd5 4. Bf6+ Nxf6 5. Qxf6#)

2... Rxh7 is not good.  Black can instead push his pawns starting with 2... b2.

Loomis how can Qh5 work when the knight simply takes the queen?
