The following position appeared with Black to play
Black played 1..Qh4 !?
After this startling move from Black, how would play the position with White ?
a) Yuri, the russian expert, said " Russians always go forward. Therefore 2.Nb5 should be played".
b) Richard, the swiss guy said " Sometimes neutralizing the opponent is called for, therefore I'd play 2.Nf3".
c) Emily from Canada looked at the position and said " Obviously you guys are not practical. The Black queen is en prise, there 2 Bxh4 is the right move".
What would you do ?

Obviously, Yuri is not an expert:
after 2. Nb5? it follows:
2..Qxh2+! (if 3.Bxh2? then 3..Rxg2+ and 4.Rhxh2#)3. Kf2, Qxg2+ and 4..Kxg3+ and thus white has an exposed king.
Emily must think again: after
2.Bxh4? then black has the chance of a perpetual check: Rxg2+, Rf2+ and so on.
