  1. Rxf8+ !

  if 1. … Qxf8 then
  2. Bh7+ Kh8 (forced)
  3. Bg6+ Kg8 (again forced)
  4. Qh7 mate

  if 1. … Kxf8 then
  2. Bg6! with the threat of Qh8

  1. Rxf8, Kxf8
  2. Bg6? seems to be to slow as Qe6 saves black doesn’t it?

  I prefer 2. Qh8+, Kf7 3. Bg6+(!), Ke6 (Kxg6 4. Qh5#) 4. Qc8+, Qd7 5. Bf5+ +-.

  Best regards
  Jochen

  My Spanish is just bad enough to translate this as 1.Rh3. But Black ought to be able to hang on with 1…Bxe5 2.dxe5 Qxe5 3.Qh8+ Kf7.
