Cordingley puzzle 17

White to play and win

Botvinnik-Judovitch Leningrad, 1933

Solution

I am afraid I knew this puzzle, so I can't tell whether it is easy or difficult. I think the first move is an obvious smash, 1 Ng6+, and the second move 2 Bh5+ becomes necessary once it is clear that discovered checks with the Qc2/Ne4 battery don't achieve anything.
