One of the funniest scenes from the old Superman TV show was when the bad guy tries shooting Superman. Superman stands smiling, fists on hips, as the bullets bounce off him. When the bullets run out, the bad guy throws the empty gun, and Superman ducks so that it won’t hit him.
Anyway, after White’s Rg6, Black has nothing but empty guns to throw.
1. … Re8+
2. Kxe8 Rxf7
3. Kxf7 Kh8
4. Rh6#
1. … Rxf7+
2. Kxf7 Re7+
3. Kxe7 Kh7
4. Kf7 Kh8+
5. Rhg#
1. … Rxf7+
2. Kxf7 Rf1+
3. Nf6 Rxf6
4. Kxf6 Kh7
5. Kf7 Kh8
6. Rh6#
1.Rg6 (threating Rg8#) and the best black can do to postpone mate is: 1.-Rf7:+ 2.Kf7: Rf1+ 3.Nf6 Rf6:+ 4.Kf6: Kh7 5.Kf7 Kh8 6.Rh6#
1.Rg6 Rxf7+
2.Kxf7 Rh1
3.Rg8+ Kh7
4.Nf6+ Kh6
5.Rg6++
if
1.Rxh7+ Kxh7
2.Kf7
then
2….Re7+
3.Kxe7+ Kg7
and there is no mate in 6
