RH7 Check knocking the queen off the third rank comes to mind.

The awkwardly placed black rooks allow 1.Rh7+! for white – winning comfortably.

It looks straightforward.
1. Ra7+ Ke8 (or c8)
2. Qxc7
1. … QxR (or Qg7)
2. Qxe6++
(1) Rh7! if QxR(2)Qxp(e6)Chk Mate. if (2)…Kc8 (3)QxR Chk Mate. if (2)…Ke8 (3)Qh8!,Qg8 (4) QxQChk Mate
1 Rh7+
1. Rxh7+ Ke8 (Qxh7? 2. Qxe6#) (Kc8 2. Qxc8#)
2. Qh8+ Qg8
3. Qxg8#
1. Rh7+ Ke8, 2. Qh8 with mate quickly following. If Black moves Qxh7, Kc8 both result in mate as well.
1. Rh7+ looks like mate in three.
1. Rh7+ wins
1…Ke8 2. Qh8
1…QxR 2. Qxe6#
1…Kc8 2. Qxc7#
What else?
Best wishes

1. Rh7+!! Ke8 [1…Qxh7? 2. Qxe6#] 2. Qh8+ Qg8 3. Qxg8#
Its mate in one! Queen takes on e6 with checkmate.
Rh7+ with mate to follow.
kc3 and perpetual after that.
yes very nice mate themes, 1.Rh7+
followed by
1…Kc8 2.Qxc7++
or 1…Ke8 2.Qh8+ Qg8 3.Qxg8++
or 1…Qxh7 2.Qxe6++
1.Rh7 check
this is really trivial
and an insult of a chessplayers
mind
ROOK TO H7 CHECK,IF QUEEN CAPTURES ROOK ,QUEEN X E6 MATE .
IF KING TO C8,QUEEN X C7 MATE .
IF KING TO E8,QUEEN TO H8,QUEEN TO G8 ,QUEEN X QUEEN MATE !
Um…..haha….no its not mate in 1.
RH7 check and black collapses.

Rh7+
1. Rh7+ 1-0
Rh7
if …QxR, then Qxe6 is mate
if …Kc8. then Qxc7 is mate
if …Kd8, then Qh8 leads to mate
Rf7+ Ke8
Qxc7 Qf6
Rh8+
and white is a queen ahead.
Seems to me that in recent weeks only the “silly” or wrong answers are posted and all others withheld for a while. Why? If you do not want to see the solution, then simply do not click on the comments. Now all the answers pile up and are being released in one go
Rh7
if …Qxh7
Qxe6#
if … Kc8
Qxc7#
