Re1
Deflect WQ from defending h2, here is one instant idea to spot:
1. … Re1+!
2. Qxe1
Enforced. Kg2?? Qxh2# or Rxe1 Qxd2
and there is nothing against Qxh2+ and Qf2#, only 2 delaying R sacks. E.g. d7 is one move too late. Rf1? Qxh2# or Kf1? Qf2#.
2. … Qxh2+
3. Kf1 Qh1+
4. Ke2 Qf3+! Kd2
5. Qd3# (pretty)
Some precision needed, e.g. 4. … Qg2+?? 5. Ke3! Qf3+ 6. Kd4! was wrong.
There was no use for Bg6, so black had more pieces than needed…
1…Re1+
2.Qxe1 2…. Rxe1 is worse.3…. Qxd2 and there is nothing to prevent 4…. Qh2+ and 5.Qf2# except the R interceptions to dalay by 2 moves.
2…. Qxh2+
3.Kf1 Qh1+
4.Ke2 Qf3+
5.Kd2 Qd3#
Re1+!!
1….Re1+!! And black mates shortly!
A>2.Kg2.Qxh2#!
B>2.Rxe1.Qxd2! And mates shortly.3.Re2.Qxe2.4.Nf4.Qf2+.5.Kh1.Qxh2#!
C>2.Qxe1.Qxh2+!.3.Kf1.Qh8+!.4.Ke2.Qf3+!.5.Kd2.Qd3#!
1. Re1+ Qxe1 (if Rxe1 then white looses Q followed by Qf2 and Qh2#)
2. Qxh2+ Kf1
3. Qh1+ Ke2
4. Qf3+ Kd2
5. Qd3#
