1. Rf8+ Qxf8
2. Qxd4+ Qg7
3. Qd8+ Q anywhere
4. QxQ mate
1. Rf8+! seems to win.
Qxf8 gives mate after 2. Qd4+, Qg7 3. Qd8+ (or 2. -, Re5 3. Qxe5+, Qg7 4. Qe8+).
1. -, Kg7!? 2. Rxd8, Rxd3 3. Rc1!, Re3
Now Bb3 defends d1 so Rxc8 was threatened, after Re3 white’s bankrank is weak but white can simply play 4. h3 (Rxc8??) and wins a bishop.
Perhaps there is something even stronger here!? But a bishop is enough for me in this position, (I hope so) even against Shirov. 🙂
Did I oversee anything?
Best wishes from a German sofa on a lazy saturday afternoon.
By the way is there some link where I can follow the games between Carlsen and Yue live? (sorry that is offtopic here :))

A big thank-you to Israel and to ano1:05. Your link works as good as 2. Rg8+! seems to work. 🙂
With the unsettled weather here it’s nice to have something to do at home, especially if it is watching exciting rapid games. 🙂
Thanks again!
