1. Bd6+ Kd6 (Kf6 Ng4+ captures queen)
2. Nf5+ ef
3. Ra3+ (black loses queen)

1. bd6+
This wins black's queen in exchange for a the knight/bishop pair. Here are the lines:
1. bd6+, Kxd6
2. Nf5+, e6xf5
3. Ra6+ (winning the queen and the endgame)

OR

1. bd6+, Kf6
2. Ng4+ (winning the queen)

1. Bd6 Kxd6 (or Kf6, but loses to Ng4+)
2. Nf5+ exf5
3. Ra6+

1. Nd5+! exd5
2. Bd6+! Kxd6
3. Ra6+ nice....

Error in my previous analysis. Let's change the move order, since after 2. Bd6+, the queen can take on d6.

So...

1. Bd6+! Kxd6
(if Kf6 Ng4+)
2. Nf5+ exf5
(or else lose the queen)
3. Ra6+ bags the queen.

First glance.. 1. Bd6+

if 1....Kxd6, 2.Nf5+, exf5, and finally 3. Ra6+ winning the queen and the game..

If 1 ... Kf6, 2. Ng4+ and the queen is gone.. quite cool tactic. :)
