1.c8=Q Kc8
2.g8=Q Bxh6
3.Ke7 (comes with check now)
After first 3 moves it seems W seems winning. But i found a saving line.
3...Bf8! only move.
4.Qxf8 Kb7
now, if we need our king on e7, since Qd8 is bad on account of Ng6 then
5.Qe8 seems like the only move to be played, if the whole variation is logical. W looks winning, but now there's 5...Bc6!
I do not know if i come close.
But 1st 3 moves seemt ok to me, there should be improvement.
