There are slight variations, for example the knight or the queen can try to block the bishop on c4, but the end result is.the same.

Because of the threat axb1=Q+ Qxb1 Ra1, I immediately thought about 1. Bd3? seeming enforced, but this can’t be sharp enough.
The idea 1. Bc4? planning Rh5+ suffers the same judgement, though Bc4+ must be an important idea here.
Aa allways we must concider a direct checking approach:
1. Rh5+!
A)
1. … Nxh5
2. Qxh5+ Kg8
3. Bc4+ Rf7 (Kf8 Qh8#)
4. Qxf7+ Kh7
5. Qh5#
B)
1. … Kg8
2. Bc4+ Kf8 (Rf7 Qxf7#, Qe6 Bxe6+)
3. Rf5+!
Seems better than Rh8+ Ng8.
3. … Qxf5 (Rf7 Qxf7#)
4. Qxf5+ Ke8 (Rf7 Qxf7#)
5. Qe6+ Kf8/Kd8
6. Qg8#
1.Rh5+ Nxh5
(1…Kg8 2.Bc4+ Nd5 3.Bxd5+ Qe6 4.Bxe6+ Kf8 5.Rh8#)
2.Qxh5+ Kg8 3.Bc4+ Qe6
(3…Kf8 4.Qh8#)
4.Bxe6+ Rf7 5.Qxf7+ Kh7 6.Qh5#
Ra5+ is the way to go!
Isn’t it just a checking move ie
1. Rh5+ and mainly
if 1….Nxh5 2. Qxh5+ Kg8
3. Bc4+ Kf8 4. Qh8#
if 1….Kg8 2. Bc4+ Kf8
3. Rh8+ Ng8 4. Rxg8#
Interspersing with N or R doesn’t really change things.
