    Rd8?

    Looks that way: 1. Rd8+ K:d8 2. Q:f8+ Kc7 3. Q:e7+ with mate to follow.

    I agree that Rd8 is the best move

    Case 1

    1 Rd8+ Kxd8
    2 Qxf8+ Kc7
    3 Qxe7+ Kb6
    4 Qxb7#

    Case 2

    1 Rd8+ Kxd8
    2 Qxf8+ Kc7
    3 Qxe7+ Kc8
    4 Qxb7+ Kd8
    5 Qd7#

    Case 3

    1 Rd8+ Kxd8
    2 Qxf8+ Kc7
    3 Qxe7+ Kb8
    4 Qxb7#

    Case 4

    1 Rd8+ Kxd8
    2 Qxf8+ Kc7
    3 Qxe7+ Kc8
    4 Qxb7+ Kd8
    5 Qd7#

    Please give your comments.

    3… Kc6 is missing from that analysis but 4. Qxb7 is mate in that case.
