Yeah, took me some time to find Rh6 (or let’s say I found it quickly but had to find it again to see that it’s a winning move :)).
In the posts above I am missing one variation. 1. Rh6, Qe8?! 2. Ng6+, Qxg6 3. Rxg6, hxg6 with black material advantage (!). Of course 4. Qh4# spoil the party.
So we have 1. Rh6 1. -, gxh6 2. Ng6+, Kg7 3. Nxe7 which does not look very good to black with that exposed king 1. -, Qe8 2. Ng6+ with material advantage as black can’t capture on g6 twice. 1. -, Rf6 2. Rxh7+ which wins some material after 3. Qh4+
Variation 1 and 3 “only” give white some material (it’s not such a big advantage as he is one figure down in the beginning); I predict variation 3 to be the best for black as his king isn’t that exposed as in variation 1. Variation 2 leads to the biggest material disadvantage.

Rh6
Rh6! threatening Ng6 fork
a) …Q moves Ng6#
b) …gxh6, Ng6+ hxg6, Qxh6 Qh7, Qxf8+ Qg8, Qxg8#
1.Rh6!? looks interesting. The threat is 2.Ng6. After 1.-gh6
2.Ng6 hg6?? 3.Qh6 +-.
2.-Kg7 3.Ne7 white should be winning too. After 1.-Rf6 2.Qh4+-.
Oops – I should say 1.Rh6 Rf6 2.Rh7 Kh7 3.Qh4+-
1. rh6 rf6 2. qh4? gh -+ (3. ng6+ hg 4. qh6+ qh7
2. rh7+ seems to be winning, nice correction!

How about Ng6+ and after h*ng6 then Qh4 mate?

2 … qxh4 🙂
Ng6+ pxg6
Rxg6 and there is no defense to Rh6+
>>Ng6+ pxg6 Rxg6 and there is no defense to Rh6+
2… bb7 3. rh6 gh 4. qh6 qh7 0-1
