If 1. . .Rxf6
2. Rg8 Rxg8
3. Rxg8 mate
If 1. . .Rg7
2. Qxg7+ Qxg7
3. Rxg7
and White is still threatening 4. Rg8
If 3. . . Bxd5
4. Nxd5
and White is a rook up with a passed pawn in the f-column.
1.Qxf6+ Rg7 and now
2.Rxg7 seems to be better.

2. … Bxd5+ is the only move to delay a sudden mate.
3. R7g2+ Qg7
4. Qxg7#
1. Qxh7+ Rxh7
2. Rg8+ Rxg8
3. Rxg8#
1. Qxh7 Kxh7 and then ?????
