I have a feeling the first move is NG3?
Edit* Wait! QH4?

Qh4 is a very good idea but then white immediately plays Qxc7, preparing to waste another of your precious 4 turns by later playing Qxg7+. You're right that the first move is Ng3+. It's the first thing that came to my mind as well since its so forcing. Black then plays hxg3. Mate in 3

Notice that the white king has nowhere to run except on the H file. There's no doubt that you'll have to bring another piece into this.

Not a bad move, but it doesn't lead to mate. The next move is with your rook, getting another piece into the attack.

I remember watching a Sam Harris video where he was comparing morality to a game of chess, he said "it is absolutely a good tactic not lose your queen but there are times where losing you queen is the best thing to do". The point he was making with morality is "tho shall not kill" is a good rule to live by but sometimes killing is the right thing to do.

Hitchens is my favourite of the 4 Horsemen, though

I was thinking about that the other day, Hitchens was awesome, he played a big part in how to break free from religion but Sam Harris answers the question what now? His talks on lack of free will and the illusion of the self are more "important" that what Hitchens did IMO.
