6. fxg6
Taking black's g-pawn, and threatening black's h-pawn. Black can now play:
6...Nf6, a grave error - attempting to scare off white's queen, but in reality dooming black to mate in 2.
6...Bg7, a much better move, but after 7. Qf5! Nf6 8. Bh6 Bxh6 9. gxh7 e6! (weaker are 9...Bxh1 10. Qg6+ Kf8 11. Qxh6+ Kf7 12. Nh3, when White has a winning attack, and 9...Kf8 10. Qg6 Bc1 11. Qxg2 Bxb2 12.Ne2 and 13.Rg1 will prove lethal) 10. Qg6+ Ke7 11. Qxg2 and White is two pawns up and Black's king is exposed, but Black is not immediately losing and has avoided the worst, and the pawn on h7 will fall.
