Hold on. I'm good at chess. Qxg6. It's the best move cause you trade pieces (this is coming from a guy who sacked his queen for a pawn to enter a total lost position in an OTB tournament) *1180 USCF

I started by calculating if 1. Nxh6 works. Dropped it immediately after Intermediate 1... Rf6! and spotted the eventually winning continuation
Main point: 1. Bxh6!! gxh6 2. Bxf5 Qxf5 3. Nxh6!
Tricky, but simple - no need to panic just stay kalm: 1. Bxh6!! Rf8!? (Trying to find some activity) 2. Bc1! (Not Bd2 nor Bd3 because of the simple 2... Nc4! forcing to give up the white Bishop which is just too important therefore this move must be right and any other loses the advantage!)
And the last try for black which is immediate 1... Nc4, we just respond with Qd7! Threatening mate and looking at our opponent's lovely rook and therefore black is forced to take gxh6 and just simply Bxf5
The Black's King is very vulnerable and Black does not seem to have any good/sensible move. I evaluate it as completely dead winning.
Coming back to the variation that seem to put the most resistance.
After 2. Bc1 Black can play Nc4 and looks like it is the move that saves the day at the first glance, but! fortunately we have a strong 3. Qg3! move, eventually xraying the knight on g6, completely taking advantage of the 2 diagonals taked by the Bishops.
