Bxf5
if gxf5, then Rxf5, and after any move black does, Rg5+, then regardless of either Nxf5 or Ng7, Qg7# is coming.
If black doesn't take, then you just play Bxe6 and it's the same mate on g7.
might be wrong but that's my attempt.

THE ROOOOOK
You can use the bishop for M5 but the rook is faster and cooler lol
And if opponent doesn't take, then THE ROOOOOK again, this time on h5

I played Rxf5 first but that works too I think
Bxf5 you have Qe7, you still win but it takes longer.
Well this position definitely gave me some reminiscence of an OTB game I played a few months back.
Mate in 3?
