        2. Qb7+ , Kf8
        3. Rd8

        1.Bxc5+, Rxc5 and then 2. Rxe6+ and if rook is taken then mate comes in next move, otherwise black queen is lost and after 4.Qf6, comes again in a mating net.

        1. BxN+ RxN
        2. Rxe6+ Kf8
        (if the R is taken, 3. Qf6#)
        3. RxQ+ KxQ
        4. Qa8+ Ke7
        5. Qxh8

        now white has two separate mate threats in addition to capturing the B on h7:
        6. Qf6+, Ke8 7. Rd8#
        and
        6. Qd8+, Ke6 7. Qf6#
        There is no way to defend against both.
        In fact, there is really no way to defend against 6. Qd8+

        1. Bc5+ Rc5
        2. Re6+! Ke6 or fe
        3. Qf6++

        If I am not mistaken, this puzzle is from a game of Bobby Fischer
