    Re8 is probably a nice move?

    1.Qxf7+! (Is so simple move, but it took more than 2 minutes to fix on it. Initially I considered it but I went in different direction, thinking it would not work.., 1.Re8? and I couldn’t find through solution)
    Continuing…
    1…Rxf7 (If 1…Kh8 2.Qxf8#)
    2.Re8+ (Now this is correct)
    2…Rf8 (What else…)
    3.Rxf8#

    A common motif- the black rook at f8 is overloaded with responsibility.

    1. Qf7! Rf7
    2. Re8 Rf8
    3. Rf8#

    Qxf7+ followed by Re8 – a little too obvious.
