Bg5 seems good for me.
I agree Bg5 Qe5+ Kf1 black can't play fxe6 due to the pin, likewise Qxg5 and Qxf3 fail for obvious reasons.
How does Qxf3 have an obvious answer to you, JWhis? I had to start calculating down to see that there was no draw with constant checks after Qxh1, although I just realized that Bf1, blocking the check, is good.
@ Kyle P: After 1. Bg5 Qxf3 2. e7+ Kg8 3. e8Q+ Bf8 4. Rf1 and Black has no dangerous checks.
I thought this was a pretty nice move 15. Bg5!Not often the queen can be left as free bait like that! 15...Qxf3 16. e7+ Kg8 17. e8=Q+ Bf8 18. Rf1 +-
