    Sack the rook with Rf8+. This displaces the queen, so that after …Qxf8; Qxe5+, Qg7; Qe8+ wins, with QxQ mate next move.

    1. Rf8+ Qxf8
    2. Qxe5+ Qg7
    3. Qe8+ wins the black quenn and then game for white.

    I think 1. Rf7 is also possible
    if 1. … QxR then 2. BxQ with mate next. Any other queen move would be followed by 2. Qxe5 winning.
