Shifting Targets

For five minutes, I looked for ways to break through to the Black king. Alas, Black's defense of h6 appeared to be more than I could overcome. Suddenly, I saw another target.

This problem is number 182 in the Anthology of Chess Combinations.

White to move

    The pawn on d5, attacked three times and defended twice?

      The pwan d5 is a poor target. 1. exd5 Qxf5 +/=
      Look at the akward position of the black king. The black queen is unprotected.

      A second target is best pursued as part of an attack on the first.
