  hm, if it would be blacks turn, he would play
  1…qe1+
  2.kb2 qc3+
  3.kb1 qxc2+
  4.ka1 qa2#

  so, white has no time to lose, each move needs to be a check!

  my suggestion is:

  1.ne4+ fxe4
  2.qxe7+ kf5
  3.qxf8+

  a)3…ke5
  4.re7+ kxd5
  5.dxe4+ and now, if 5…kc6 mate by 6.qc8# or 5…qxe4 6.fxe4+ kc6 7.qc8#

  b)3…kg5
  4.qe7+ kf5
  5.rf7#

  greetings, Vohaul

  1 Ne4+ seems to win – an interrupt sac.
