Dacha Tactics #87 - full light explosion in real time

A juicy position I had in a game. Material is equal, color money is not. It's +1000 light and -1000 dark. Our golden bishop is especially excited at the sight of black's open light around his king. The black queen is helping on light, but certainly that is only temporary. One could even argue that it only adds to the light problems in his camp. How to most efficiently shake off the dark bishop's pin and open up the wrath of our light energy?
