Some food for thought

 

My latest involves going through Alekhines games. There is this tendency now in my games to draw for blood when there isn’t none as was the case here against Dragonfish when I played Ng5 after which Bxf4 must be close to equal. After h6? though it all comes ugly for black sooner than he expected I believe.

White to move

What is whites best?

(Stop here if you don’t want to know the answer.)

Now if fx, Qx+, Be7 trying to preserve the bishop, what is the quickest?
