Just offer the Queen, give a lovely double check, and let the Rook finish! (knip)…just like that!
;-))
1. Qg8+ Bxg8
2. Ne7+ Kf8
3. Rg8#
I initially thought it must involve the White rook pinning the Bishop, but that doesn’t seem to lead anywhere.
So here goes:
1. Qh8+ BxQ
2. Ne7+ Kf8
3. Rh8#
1. Qh8+ Bxh8
2. Ne7+ Kf8
3. Rg8++
1.Qh8+ B.h8
2.Ne7++ Kf8
3.Rg8#
1. Qh8+ Bxh8
2. Ne7++ Kf8
3. Rg8#
It is crystal clear.
1.Qh8+ Bxh8
2.Ne7++ kf8
3.Rg8#
This is a great one – congratulations. Qh8 and mate in another two moves.
1.Qh8!! + 1…Bxh8
2.Ne7!!++ 2…Kf8
3.Rg8#
1. Qh8+ Bxh8
2. Ne7++ Kf8
3. Rg8#
1. Qh8+! Bxh8
2. Ne5++ Kf8
3. Rg8#
As usual a quick mate without sidelines.
1. Qh8+! Bxh8
2. Ne7 ++ and wins!
Let’s see now
1. Qh8+ Bxh8
2. Ne7++ Kf8
3. Rg8#
1. Qh8+ Bxh8 2. Ne7++Kf8 3. Rg8#
Qh8+ can only be met with Bxh8. Then Ne7+ (which is double check) forces the king to f8 then Rg8 is mate.
QR8+, Ne7+, Rg8++
ne7. Curtains soon after.
1. Qh8+ Bxh8
2. Ne7+ Kf8 (forced)
3. Rg8#

In 10 seconds I can see a queen sacrifice followed by a deadly double check.
