Black is 5 points up and is threatening checkmate.
Can White do anything about it?

a) Qe3 - d4 Loses the queen to Rd6 x d4 1 point
b) Qe3 - e5 Threatens mate on g7, but allows Rd6-d1 check, wining the queen. 2 points
c) Qe3 - h6 Loses the queen to g7 x h6 1 point
d) Rh3 - h7 Allows Rd6 - d1+ or Kg8xh7 1 point
e) Rh3 - h8+ Loses the rook - but after Kg8 x h8 Qh6+ wins as the pawn is pinned so Kg8 is forced then Qh6xg7 mate! 4 points
f) g2 - g3 Stops the back rank mate, but still loses the bishop t oRd6 - d1+ 2 points
