1. Bh3 . . . locking in the pawn on e6 for at least one turn.
2. Nxe6 Rxe6
3. Bxe6+ Qxe6 King and Queen are both threatened by the Bish.
4. Qxe6++

1. Qf3 Qd7
2. Bb5 and the black queen is lost.
White’s pieces are active near the King.
1. Qf3 (threatens mate) Qd7
2. Bd5 (attacks Queen) Qxb
3. Qf7#
2. … Rf8
3. Bxd7 Rxf3
4. Bxe6 Rf7
5. Bxf7#
