    After
    1. gxh6+ White should somehow mate.
    A 1. … Kh7(?)
    B 1. … Kg6
    C 1. … Kxh6

    A)
    2. Rxf7+ Kxh6 (Kg6 3.Qg8+ Kxh6 4.Rh7#)
    3. Qh8+ Kg6/g5
    4. Qg7#

    B)
    2. Qg8+ Kxh6
    3. Qf8+ Kg6 (Kg5 4.Qg7#; Kh7 4.Rxf7+ Kg6 5.Qg7#)
    4. Qxf7+ Kh6 (Kg5 5.Qg7#)
    5. Rf6+ Nxf6 (Kg5 6.Qg7#)
    6. Bf4#

    C)
    2. Qf8+ Kg6 see B, one move faster

    I lost my opportunity to comment because of web failure at last moment and my reluctance to type everything again.
    @fajac
    (B)1.gxh6+ Kg6
    2.Qg8+ Kxh6
    3.Bf4+ Ng5+
    4.Bxg5#
    another one
    1.gxh6+ Kg6
    2.Qg8+ Kxh6
    3.Rf6+ Nxf6
    4.g5#
    Also possible is
    1.gxh6+ Kg6 2.Qg8+ Kxh6 3.Qh8+ Kg6 4.gxh5+
    (4.Qxh5+ Kg7 5.Rxf7+ Kg8 6.Qh7# is simple but delayed by one move.)
    4…Kg5 5.Bh4# 1-0
    Another beautiful variation
    3.g5+ is spoiled because of 3…… Nxg5 with check.Otherwise 4.Rf6 would have been mate.

    Last night I saw only fajac when I sent my comment. Now Mark has also come that too on the top of fajac.
    How?
