1. Rxe6+, fxe6 (Kd7?? 2. Re7#) 2. Qxe6+, Kf8 3. Qf6+, Kg8 4. Re7.
After this silent move not only Qg7# is threatened but also Qf7+ followed by Qxh7# and black cannot defend both squares.
Even the last try 4. -, Qc1+ 5. Kh2, Qc7+ (all good checking squares are protected!) 6. Rxc7 loses immediately as 6. -, Rxc7 leaves the other rook: 7. Qxd8+ 8. Qxc7 1:0
So after 4. Re7 it’s over isn’t it?
Best wishes from Germany

I’m afraid it’s not over yet. It leads to Queen versus Rook end game after Black Queen capture White Rook.
