White to move
With focus on the enemy kingside. Now any capture on f3 will clear the g-file for the attack.
1...Nxf3+?
This just accelerates White's plan.
1...cxb4 2.axb4 Nd7! is a better try, speeding up his development.
2.gxf3 cxb4 3.Rg1! f6
Returning the pawn
4.Bxe6+ Kh8 5.Rg3! Qe7 6.Qg6!
This nice blow seals Black's fate.
6...Bc8
Obviously both the queen and bishop were immune.
