I think the winner here is 1.Qh6 - Is it OK to post my answers? Not sure if this is appropriate as others are probably trying to solve these puzzles and not wanting to see the answers. Cheers, Louis

on 1.Qh6 , Black can't take the queen because of 2 Nh6#, but what about 1..Bf8 ?
If white takes the bishop to renew the threat, then Black can't take the queen.

That's a neat defensive resource, and looks like it refutes 1.Qh6. How about 1.Nh6+ gxh6 2.Qxh6 Bf8 3.Qg5+ etc?
