Strong GM giving material for attacking chances

White to play



White has invested material (down a rook) in order to mount an attack. White to play in the position above.

Can White get a return on his investment and if so how ?

Absolutely !
Black can't defend against Bishop+Queen.

In the game Black played 1..Kg8 and White had no problem converting his material advantage after 2 Nxd8 winning the Queen.

Good job on finding the combination , which wasn't easy because the initial sacrifice is followed by quiet/slow moves..
