Not dificult.
I show the move nº 4: Pawn g6-g7 mate.
Really beautiful!
1. Rg7
1. … Kh8
2. Qg8 Ng8
3. Rh7 Nh7
4. g7 mate
1. … Kf8
2. Qb4
1. Rg7+ Kxh8 (if 1. … Kf8, 2. Qb4+)
2. Qg8+ Nxg8
3. Rxh7+ Nxh7
4. g7#
Cute.

1…Kxh8 2. Qg8+ Nxg8 3. Rxh7+ Nxh7 4. g7++
That was very difficult. I had several ideas like rd7+, g7 with Rf8, pxh7+, and Rf8+ followed by Qb4+ and none of them were even close. I was unable to solve it on my own in 20 minutes. I used computer to show me. Excellent puzzle.

The double check looked promising, so
First try:

2. Qb4+ Qc5
3. Qxc5+ Ke8
4. Qe7#
This looked clutzy, so
Second try:
1. Rg7+ Kxh8
2. Qg8+ Nxg8
3. Rxh7+ Nxh7
4. g7#
Lucky pawn.
This one was very easy. Took me like less that a minute.
