OR
1. Nf5+ gxf5
2. Rc7+ Kf8 or anywhere.
3. Rd8 #
1. Nf5+, if 1… gxf5 then 2. Rc7+, etc.
White’s best move is Nf5+
Black has two moves now,
a) …gxf5 which allows white to mate in two with the rooks.
b) …Kf7 leads to: Rc7+ Ke8, Ng7+ Kf8,Rd8#

1. … gf5:
2. Rc7+ and
3. Rd8#
after 1. Rc7+ it seems that the black king can escape via h6/g5/f4…
Hello

Greetings from Spain
Nf5 Rc7 and Rd8
1.Nf5+ Kf7 (if 1…gxf5 2.Rc7+ Kf8 3.Rd83) 2.Rc7+ Ke8 3.Ng7+ Kf8 4.Rd#
Nf5+ is the move

1. Nf5+ and curtains
1… gxf5
2. Rc7+ Kmoves to 8th rank
3. Rd8++
1….Kf6
2. Rc7+ Ke8
3. Ng7+ Kf8

No, Nf5+ first. This way the Black King can’t escape to h6 anymore.
Ng5+ wins for White. It is mate in 3 after this move.
1.Nf5+ Kf7(…if gf5 Rc7+ then mate next move at Rd8.);2.Rc7+ Ke8;3.Re7+ Kf8;4.Rd8+#.
I think Rc7 is preceeded by 1.Nf5>
…would let the king out via h6, but Nf5+ doesn’t.
Black has much pieces and white has only few so I think black win. For example if castle try take pawn, queen can say check and this is good. So maybe white try offer draw.
1. Nf5+ gxf5 2. Rc7+ Kf8 3. Rd8# white WON
