        1. Rxg6+ hxg6 2. Qxf7+ kxf7 3.h7, etc.

        I don’t see a forced mate, but 1. Rxg6+ gives white a winning material advantage. If 1 … hxg6, 2 h7+ and white either promotes the pawn or takes both the Q and R. And if 1 … Kf8, 2 Rf6 Re7, 3 Rxf7 Rxf7 4. Qb8+

        1. Rxg6+ hxg6 2. h7+ wins instantly.

        1. Rxg6+ hxg6
        2. h7+ Kxh7
        3. Qxf7+ Kh6

        and white should win in a few more moves…

        1. Rg6 hg 2. h7 Kh7 (2. … Kf8 3. h8Q) 3. Qf7 White wins

        Hah! This one jumped out at me within 5 seconds: the queen is pinned, so just sack the rook and push the pawn and black is toast!

        1 Rxg6 hxg6
        2 h7+ 1-0

        1. Rxg6!

        The rook cant be taken because of h7 and queening on next move, so…

        1. …, Kf8
        2. Ba3+, Re7 only move
        3. Bxe7+

        And now the king will be forced to the 7th rank, either by taking the bishop og by Ke8, Qb8. Once on the 7th rank, Rg7 wins.

        The queen is easily captured with:
        1. Rxg6+ (also logical because the knight is preventing ideas you might have on h8)
        1. … hxg6 (Kf8 Rf6)
        2. h7 Kxh7
        3. Rb7 and white wins very easy.

        1.Rxg6+! hxg6 (1…Kf8 2.Rf6!)

        i would play as follows:
        1. Rxg6+ hxg6
        2. h7+ Kxh7
        3. Qxf7+ Kh6
        4. Qxe8
        if 1. … Kf8, then
        2. Rf6 will do. greets, jan

        1. Nxg6+ hxg6
        2. h7+ kf8(if ..Kxh7 then Qxf7)
        3. h8Q+ Ke7
        4. Qb7+ Kd6
        5. Qd4+ Qd5
        6. Qdxd5#

        Many types of mates are their.. too many variations are present

        1 Rg6+ Kf8

        If 1.. hxg6, 2 h7+, and Black must either lose his Queen or allow White to get a new Queen, with mate to follow shortly either way.

        2 Ba3+ Re7

        Or 2… Qe7, 3 Qf6#.

        3 Qg8+ Qe8
        4 Bxe7+ Kxe7
        5 Qd6+ Kf7
        6 Qf6#

        1.Rxg6+ black is reduced to 2 moves each of them causes him to lose the queen the first one is 1… hxg6 2.h7+ 2… Kxh7 3.Qxf7+ followed by mate on g7.
        the second one is 1.Kf8 that loses quickly to Rf6.
