Rg2 Wins !
If QxF3 then QxF8 mate.
If nothing then Qxh7 check and Rh3 mate !

Rg2 looks good to me
That was a hard one for me though the key move is quite obvious as it is the only sensefull move against the pin.
1. Rg2! should decide the game.
The big threat is 2. Qxh7+ and black has no good defense against that.
Best regards

1 Rg2 if 1 … Rg8
2 Qxh7
I see the next combination
1. Qxh7 , Kxh7
2. Rh3#
Best Regards
Ups, white can´t move 2. Th3+
Sorry, the movement is Rg2
Best Regards, again
