    1. Qg7+ Ke8
    2. Rh8+ wins, since the black R cannot interpose without allowing mate in one.
    2. …. Qf8
    3. Rf8:+ Rf8
    4. Ng6 ends it.

    I just found that Black doesn’t get mated soon…
    Considering the line
    1. Qf7+ .. Ke8
    2. Rh8+ .. Qf8
    3. Qxf6, now .. Qxh8+
    4. Qxh8+ .. Ke7
    Then the endgame is not easy, but i think is won for White, provided it will neutralize Black’s most advanced pawn and exchange its ones with Balck’s rook and bishop.

    2. … (b) Qf8
    3.RxQ+ RxR
    4. Qg6+ (b1) Rf7
    5. QxR#

    4. … (b2) Ke7
    5. Qxc2 (I don’t see the mate, but trading rook for Q and taking out the queening threat looks good to me.)
