White to move and win

White to move &
win
White is starting this diagram out a pawn down, but his
pieces are better coordinated and he has a lead in development. That's
usually a formula for success!
1.Bxf7+ Qxf7
Now the queen no longer guards the knight on c3, so after...
2.Qxb7
...both the rook at a8 and the knight at c6 are hanging
(unprotected.) Black can't save them both, so he saves the more
valuable rook.
2...Rd8 3.Qxc6+ Bd7 4.Qc5
Another double attack!
4...Bb6 5.Qxe5+
From a pawn down White has gone to two pawns up, and if
White wants to he can go straight to the endgame after 5...Ne7 with an
exchange on e7. Or, he can continue to build pressure against Black's
terrible king position. Either way - White wins.
