    1.Qh3+ Kg8
    2.Qc8+ Qf8
    3.Qe6+ Kh8
    4.Qh3+ Kg7
    5.Qd7+
    and now
    5. — Kh6/Kh8/Kg8
    6. Qh7++
    or
    5. — Kf6
    6. Nh7++

    If 3. — Kg7 then
    directly 4. Qd7+.

    Other variations are trivial (if I have not missed something nontrivial 🙂 ).

    A little simpler is:
    1. Qh3+ Kg8
    2. Qe6+ Kf8 (if Kh8 3 Qh3+ repetition)
    3. Qc8+ Ke7
    4. Qe6+ Kf8
    5. Qc8+ = (repetition)
    If 4… Kd8
    5. Nf7+ Qxf7
    6. Qxf7 a1(Q)
    7. Rxa1 Nxa1 and the Q can defeat the 2 Ns

    Well, the first solution led to checkmate and the latter to draw by repetition. So that seem not to be correct…
