1. Re1+ Ke1
2. Nf3+
1. Re1+ Kc2
2. Qf5+ Qd3
3. Qd3 Kd3
4. Rh1
Other moves by black K or R are even more straight forward.
1. Re1+ Kc2 2. Qf5+ Qd3 3. Qxd3+ Kxd3 4. Rxh1
Sorry 1. … Re1+ 2. Kc2 Qf5+ 3. Qd3 Qxd3+ 4. Kxd3 Rxh1

I posted this in the previous thread in reply to Alena, but it is open to all to try. A truly difficult puzzle by the great Zinar:
8/p1p5/Pp5p/1P2p3/1P5k/1P2pP1p/4P2P/2K5 w – – 0 1
I solved it and posted in the previous thread.
No, you didn’t solve it.
You need to consider the alternatives at move 3 for black like 3. ….Kf5 and 3. …Kg5.
