    (a) 1.Rf1 ( threatening checkmate with 2.Rxh7# ) gxh5 2.Qg5+ Kh8 3.Qh6 Rd6 4.Qxh7#
    (b) 1.Rf1 g5 2.Qxg5+ Kh8 3.Qh6 Rd6 4.Qxh7#
    (c) 1.Rf1 Re8 2.Qh6+ Kh8 3.Qxh7#

    First idea was 1. Nxh7 Kg8 2. Qh6 f5 3. Nf6+ Kf7 [3…Rxf6 4. Qh8+ Kf7 5. Rh7#] 4. Qh7+ Kxf6 5. Qxc7 +- but 1. Rf1 is much simpler and stronger: 1…gxh5 2. Qg5+ Kh8 3. Qxh5 and mate follows.

    1. R(e)xe5 KxN 2. Qg5+ Kg7 3. Qh6+ Kf6 4. R(h)f5#
    1. R(e)xe5 gxR 2. Qg5+ Kh8 3. Qh6 and Qxh7#

    1.Rf1 is much stronger 🙂 But your line wins material too.
