1. … Qxf1+ 2. Kxf1 Bh3+ 3. Kg1 Re1#
1…Qxf1+
2.Kxf1 Bh3+
3.Kg1 Re1 mate
After about 10 seconds I try:
1. … Bh3!!
White king is out of escape fields.
Black threatens Qxf1.
As far as I can see, this costs white both rook and knight.
2. Qa1 (Rxe1? Rxe1#) Bxf1!
3. Qxe1 (Qa4+ was also hopeless) Rxe1
4. h4 (enforced to avoid Bh3#) fxg6
5. Bxg6 Be2+
1… Qxf1+
2. Kxf1 Bh3+
3. Kg1 Re1++
Pretty straightforward.
1….Qxf1+
2. Kxf1 Bh3+
3. Kg1 (forced) Re1 mate
