1.f5 looks like the move - if I don't play that, then Black plays f5 himself (with extra effect if I start with 1. 0-0). If 1... Bb4+ then c3 dxc3 bxc3 wins some material. If 1...Qe7 then 2.Nd6+ looks very good. If 1...Qe5 then 2.0-0 Bc5 and something like 3.Qd3 0-0 4.Bf4 followed by f6 (maybe) and I'm probably doing OK.
