1. Rh7+, Kg5
2. f4+, Kf6
3. Ra6, Rc8
4. Bxc8+, Nc6
5. Rxc6#
Rh7 looks like it leads to mate:
1. Rh7 Kg5
2. f4 Kf6
And now comes the key decision:
3. Bd5!
Threatens 4.Rf7 followed by mate. Black can block for a move with Nb7. Other than that, I see only one move that prevents the Rf7 and Rf7# line, and that is g5, but that allows 4.Rh6#.
1.Rh7+ Kg5
2.f4+ Kf6
3.Rf7+ Rxf7
4.Rxf7#
1. Rh7+ Kg5 2. f4+ Kf6 3.Ra6 with the mate threat.
1. Rh7+ Kg5 2. f4+ Kf6 3.Ra6 with the mate threat.
1. f4! g5 (Forced)
(1…….Rh8
2. Bg8! +- )
2. Bxf5! (Threatening Rh7 as well as Re6)
2…… gxf4+
3. Kh4!
Mate is coming.
1-0
Rh7+, Kg6
f5+, Kf6 all forced
Bd5 threatening Rf7+ Mate cannot be stopped
1.f4 :
1…Rh8 2.Bg8 g5 3.Re6#
1…g5 2.Bxf5 Rxf5 3.Re6 Rf6 4.Rxf6 #
2…. gxf+ 3.Kh4

1.Re7-h7+ Kh6-g5 (king has no choice)
2.f2-f4+ Kg5-f6 (again king has no choice)
3.Be6-d5 Na5-b7 (white preparing for Ra7-a6#; black makes a desperate attack on Ra7, preventing Ra7-a6#)
4.Ra7xb7 c2-c1Q (too late for black, the queen cannot be of much help)
5.Rb7-b6+ Qc1-c6 (desperate and useless attempt to block the checkmate)
6.Rb6xc6#
