“Most accurate” is to go for the mate, I suppose? Awfully easy with so many forced moves for black:
1. Rf6 Kh5
2. g4
Easy move to spot- gotta open that g-file for the 1st rank rook:
2. …..Kg4
3. Rg1 Kh5 (Kh3 4.Rh6#)
4. Rg5#
I guess 1.Rf6+ Kxh5 2.g4+ Kxg4 3.Rg1+ followed by mate
R.C
Rf6 Kh5
g4 Kg4
Rg1
Wancey Yard
1. Rf6+ Kxh5; 2.g4+ Kxg4; 3. Rg1+ Kh3 (if 3…Kh5; 4. Rg5 mate); 4. Rh6 mate – Ariel G. Tinio
1.Rf6+ Kxh5
2.g4+ Kxg4
3.Rg1+ Kh5
4.Rg5#
1. Rf6+ Kxh5; 2.g4+ Kxg4; 3. Rg1+ Kh3 (if 3…Kh5; 4. Rg5 mate); 4. Rh6 mate – Ariel G. Tinio
Rf6+ Kh4
g4+ Kxg4
Rg1+ Kh3 (Bg3 doesn’t help)
Rh6 mate
Grindmaster Lenya says: + + + + #
Another mate in 5.
1. Rf6+ Kxh5
2. g4+ Kxg4
3. Rg1+ Bg3 [3. … Kh3 4. Rh6#] [3. … Kh5 4. Rg5#]
4. Rxg3+ Kh5
5. Rg5#

Even a drunk Yancey Ward could see rook to f 6

1. Rf6+ KxN
2. g4+ Kxg4
3. Rg1+ Kh5
4. Rg5#
the most accurate continuation is, of course, to mate the opponent:
1. Rf6+ Kxh5
2. g4+ Kxg4
3. Rg1+ Bg3 (Kh3, 4. Rh6#; Kh5, 4. Rg5#)
4. Rxg3+ Kh5
5. Rg5#
greets, jan
White is in trouble… fortunately, there is a mate.
1. Rf6+ – Kxh5
2. g4+ – Kxg4
3. Rg1+ – Kh5/h3
4. Rg5++/Rh6++
1. Rf6+ Kh5
2. Pg4+ Kg4
3. Rg1+ …
There are three possibilities from here:
3. … Kh3
4. Rh6#
or
3. … Kh5
4. Rg5#
or, with the only blocking move available:
3. … Bg3
4. Rg3+ Kh5
5. Rg5#
