    f4. Win the knight and still have time to deal with the h4 pawn.

    Well... 1. Rd4 is an outright blunder due to Nf3+ winning a rook
    The conservative 1. Rxh4 pockets a button, but drops material to the cunning Qf6 attacking the rook and threatening Nf3+ again, this time attacking the Qb2.
    The materialistic 1. f4 just picks off a piece. Black has no real tricks that white must avoid. Oh, maybe one... for example:

    1. f4 h3
    What else?
    2. fxe5 Qg3
    3. Qf2 h2+
    Gaaahhhh!!!!
