        Rc7+ Kxe6
        Rh6+ Kf5
        Bd3+ Kg4
        Rg6+ Kh4/Kf4
        Rh7/Rf7
        Is a possible sequence, not sure on white’s best move after
        Rc7+ Kd6 though!

        After Rc7+ Kd6
        Nf7+ Ke6
        Rh6+ Kf5
        Bh3+ Ke4
        Rh4+ Kf3
        Ng5+ Kf2
        Rf7 winning at least on my pocket set!
