Chess puzzle

Here's a chess puzzle:

Chess position

White to move. What would you do? What I did made the other guy resign in 3 ply.

I'm guessing it'd go like this:
1. e4-d6 b4xd6
2. e2xe5 d6xe5
3. f5-e7 resign

It seems like it would be extraordinarily difficult for white to lose at that point.

Ben, that's a good way to win the rook, but here's what I did:

1. Nh6+ gxh
2. Nf6+ resigns

I said three ply, not three moves Smiley Also, check out how forced everything is from Nh6. I must either win his queen or mate.

Nh6+
G7xh6
Qg4+
Qg5
Ng5
H6xg5
Qxc8+

I feel safer with his rook in my hand.

Or you could just have his queen in your hand, or mate in two :-P
