White to play: can he play 1 Bh6+!?

Tetrarch-AWB, ICC 3-0 blitz, Sept 14

Solution

No, though he did, and after 1 Bh6+?? Kh6 2 Qf6, black won by 2…Nd2! and white’s king is in a mating net.

Black can escape the checks: 3 Qh8+ Kg5[] 4 Qd8+[] 5 f4+[] ef 6 gf+ [] Kg4 7 Qc8+ f5 and the checks are over (save a desperado Ne5+) so the game is over.
