Solution:
1.Nxc5 Qxc5 [1...Kc7 2.Nxd7 Kxd7 3.c5 Ra6 4.c6+ Kc7 5.Qxf6 Qb5 6.Qxe5+]2.Rxb3+ axb3 3.Rxb3+ Kc7 4.Qxc5+ and in both lines, White has an overwhelming advantage. Notice that White could do all that because White looked at all captures, and when looking at the c-pawn, noticed that only the king would be protecting the queen. Then all White had to do was figure out how to move the king from its protecting square.
