Chess Problem #1

From an online game I played yesterday.  I was white.  There are a couple of good moves, but one completely winning combination that I am happy to say I found :-)

  1. Michael Dougal got it: 1. Rf4! (Both 1.Bxe5 and 1.Rxe5 win back the pawn and white stands better, but this is the killer. 1.Nxe5? fails to 1...Qxf2+! followed by dxe5) 1... exf4 2. Ne5! The point, the pawn on f4 gets in the way, and white is completely winning! If dxe5 then Qxb6 not only wins the queen for a rook and knight but the knight is also trapped.
