1. Qxf7
If 1..Kh8
then
2. Qxf8#
If 1..Rxf7
then
2. Rc8+
If 2..Rf8
then
3. Rxf8 Kxf8
4. Ke6+ (forking queen)
if 2..Kg7
then
3. Ke6+ (forking queen)
I believe that Ne6 is the correct way to proceed.
Qxf7+! Then Rc8+, Be5+, Ne6+, and Rxf8++. Depends on Black at every step, but that’s the theme.
qxf7, leaves the knight check open, or R check followed by bishop check or N check
Qxf7…Rxf7
Rc8…if Rf8, then Ne6!
…if Kg7, then Ne6!
Force to exchange the Queens. White has material advantage.
Qxf7…Rxf7
Rc8…if Rf8, then white plays Rc8 allowing for Ne6 fork and white wins a pawn.
1. qf7+ rf7 2. rc8+ rf8 (or 2…kg7 ne6+) 3.rf8+ kf8 4.ne6+ wins a pawn!

1.Qxf7 Rxf7 2.Rc8
Q:f7!
1. Qxf7+ Rxf7
2. Rc8+ Rf8 *
3. Rxf8+ Kxf8
4. Ne6+
winning back the queen, and a rook up.
* if 2… Kg7, 3. Ne6+ forks the king and queen. once the queens are off the board, white’s extra material wins,
1. Qxf7+ Rxf7 2. Rc8+ Rf8 3. Rxf8+ Kxf8 4. Ne6+
1. Qxf7+ Rxf7
2. Rc8+ Kg7
3. Ne6+ Kh6
4. Nxf4
2. … Rf8
3. Rxf8 Kxf8
4. Ne6+
So white is a full rook up, but is about to lose a piece. White wins if he can simplify. White can go with
1. Qxf7+!! Rxf7
2. Rc8+ Kg7
( 2………. Rf8
3. Rxf8+ Kxf8
4. Ne6+ K–
5. Nxf4 +- )
3. Ne6+ Kh6
4. Nxf4 Bxb2 and white just has to save a piece. I think either Be2! or Rc4 should be sufficient.
5. Rc4 g5
6. Rc6+ is all good for white.
