Comments.Text: Since black is way ahead in material -- B+N v 2P -- my first move candidate would be to ignore the threat and play Qxh4, and see if the penetration from the R+Q would come home before your queen sortie could amount to anything. If I decided against it, then Nd5 would be my second candidate. Honestly, with two extra pieces, black is sitting comfortably. Black's goal is a breakthrough with the Q at h4, N posted to d5 (and if chased, just take the f4 pawn) Rooks on f8 and f5, and the King tucked away safely on h7 and White will be mated soon. No endgame in sight.

  There's not really any hope here unless black is down a lot of time, and there's no increment or something.
  
  White is down 2 pawns for 2 minor pieces. Maybe just 1 pawn for a minor piece is a little manageable but when it's 2 for 2, nothing really to be done.
  
  Theoretically though, I wouldn't mind playing king and 2 pawns vs king, bishop and knight.
