It seems to me that Bg6 Kg8 Qh7 is also a valid solution

I believe that is invalidated by BxQ

I guess my point wasn't clear. 2.Bg6+ Bxh3 What does White do now?

Always ask before you look for moves.

Is there a threat for me in this position, and what could it be or what is my opponent threatening, what is his intention? Asking this questions first, your play will benefit.

Moving the Bishop on h7

My first instinct was simply to move the bishop on h7 to g6, which would totally have worked as well. When that came up as wrong, I shrugged and moved the bishop to g8. Different move, same result. Also wrong?? Checked solution. Bishop to e4? Any of my responses should have worked.

After 1...e5, White's queen is attacked by the bishop on c8. Any bishop move by White other than
2.Bf5 results in Bishop takes Queen.
