I just noticed that White could play 1.Rg5 stopping the Black’s potential mate at g2 and adding terminal pressure to g7.
1.Rg5 Qd7 2.Qh4 (threatening Rh5) Qe7 (if ….Qd2 then Be5) 3.Qg4 (hoping to follow that by Rh5 and if the BR moves then Qg6 or otherwise Rxh7+ and Qh5#) Qf7 4.Rf5 Qc7 5.Qf4 (threatening Rf7) Qc6 6.Bxg7+! and wins. What?
No, 2.Qh4 Qd2 3.Bd4, I thought the B had to move after c5 but 3…. c5 4.Rxg7 Rxg7 (if 4… cxd4 then Rxh7# or Qxh7#) 5.Qd8#
