  You guys are letting me down. There is a bit more to this puzzle than just 1.Bf5 Rf5 2.Re7, one might want to look deeper, even if they are correct.

    Yancey is right. There is more to it than meets the eye.
    1.Bxf5+ Rxf5 2.Re7+
    (2…. Rf7 3.Rxf7+ Kg6
    (3…Kg8 4.Rg7+ Kf8
    (4…Kh8 5.Rb7+ Kg8 6.h7+ Kf8 7.h8=Q#)
    5.h7 Qxd5 6.h8=Q+ Qg8 7.Qxg8#)
    4.Rg7+ Kf5 5.Ne3+ Ke4/Kf4 6.Rxg2 Kxe3 7.Rxf2 easily wins)
    2….. Kg8
    (2…Kg6 3.Rg7+ Kh5 4.h7 Rf8 5.Bc1 Qxd5
    (5…Qxg4 6.hxg4#)
    (5…Qxh3 6.Rg5#)
    (5…Rh8 6.Rg5#)
    6.h8=Q+ Rxh8 7.Nf6#)
    3.h7+
    (3.Rg7+ Kf8 4.h7 Rh5 is not so good for white )
    3…Kf8 4.Ra7 Rh5 5.Bg7+ Ke8 6.Nf6+ Kd8 7.Nxh5 Qg6 8.h8=Q+ Qe8 9.Bf6+ Kc8 10.Qxe8#
