Finding the right plan

1.h3 Qh5
2.g4 Qh6
3.g5 Qh5
4.Nf1 any move
5.Ng3 Black Queen is lost.
Hm...not really convincing to me.
1.h3 Qh5
2.g4 Qh6
3.g5 Qh5
4.Nf1 any move
5.Ng3
So, the best any move seems to be 4. ... Bxe5.
5.Ng3 Bxg3
6.fxg3 h6
This may save the Queen. Black is one Pawn up and the nice Pawn on e5 is lost.
If (after 4. ... Bxe5)
5. Nxe5 Qxg5
Black has two Pawns for the Bishop. Not really good for black, but playable.
I cannot find the perfect solution.
I suggest changing the move order and manuever the Knight to g3 via e4, thus saving the g5 pawn, winning the Bishop for only one pawn:
1. h3 Qh5
2. Ne4 Bxe5
3 g4 Qh6
4. Nf3xe5
By the way, can anybody find a link to the whole game?
If 2..g5
3. g4 Qh6
4. Nexg5 and White's attack looks strong
1.h3 Qh5
2.g4 Qh6
3.g5 Qh5
4.Nf1
How about 4.Ne4 instead? Now if 4...Bxe5 simply 5.Nxe5 Qxd1+ 6.Rxd1 leaves White a piece up.
1. h3 Qh5
2. Ne4 Bxe5
2...Bxe5 looks panicky. Why not just 2...d6?
1. h3 Qh5
2. Ne4 Bxe5
3. g4 Qh6
Black has a better defense:
2. Ne4 d6
3. g4 Bxg4
I suggest the following instead:
1. h3 Qh5
2. g4 Qh6
3. g5 Qh5
4. Ne4 Bxe5
5. Nxe5 Qxd1
6. Rxd1 (or Kxd1)
Leaving white up a bishop for 2 pawns.
