  1. Qg7+ Ke8
  2. Rh8+ wins, since the black R cannot interpose without allowing mate in one.
  2. …. Qf8
  3. Rf8:+ Rf8
  4. Ng6 ends it.

  I just found that Black doesn’t get mated soon…
  Considering the line
  1. Qf7+ .. Ke8
  2. Rh8+ .. Qf8
  3. Qxf6, now .. Qxh8+
  4. Qxh8+ .. Ke7
  Then the endgame is not easy, but i think is won for White, provided it will neutralize Black’s most advanced pawn and exchange its ones with Balck’s rook and bishop.

  1. Qg7+ Ke8
  2. Rh8+ (a) Rf8
  3. Qf7#

  2. … (b) Qf8
  3.RxQ+ RxR
  4. Qg6+ (b1) Rf7
  5. QxR#

  4. … (b2) Ke7
  5. Qxc2 (I don’t see the mate, but trading rook for Q and taking out the queening threat looks good to me.)
