1. Kh6, …,
2. Qg7 or 2. Qa8
Is that right, Susan?
1. Kh6!!!
looks like Kh6 with Qg7# threatened and …f6 blocks the queen, but Qe7 threatens again, blocked by Rf7 and then Rd8+ should finish it.
BTW, have you ever considered recruiting GM Le for your Webster college team? He looks college age. Or maybe, GM Hou. She’s about college age. Both would add a lot to American chess during 4 years of college.
Kh6!
..f6 Qe6+ Rf7 Rd8+ Rxd8 Rxd8#
..f6 Qe6+ Kh8 Qe7 Rf7 Rd8+ Rxd8 Rxd8+ Rf8 Rxf8#
..f6 Qe6+ Kh8 Qe7 Qe3+ Qxe3 Rf7 Rd8+ Rf8 Qe7 Rfxd8 Qg7#
1Kh6 is sufficient.
Too simple:
1. Kh6 f6
2. Qe7 1-0
Too simple:

1. Kh6 f6 2. Qe6+ Kh8 (2. .. Rf7 3. Rd8+ Rxd8 4. Rxd8#) 3. Rd7 and Black’s goose is cooked.
