  I didn’t find the solution 🙁

  I was thinking about bringing another rook to h1 and found it very slow. Like

  1. Nf3 Nxf3
  2. Rh1

  with a threat of Rxh7+

  If

  2. … Kh8
  3. Qxg6 etc

  I also tried

  1. Nf3 Rde8
  2. Rh1 Rxe6
  3. Rxh7+ Kg8
  4. Bxe6+ Q/Rf7
  5. Rh8+ Kg7
  6. R1h7#

  But the solution Rxh7 Kxh7 Qh3+ with Qh6# is simple and neat. Only one possible reply by black for every move!!!
