  I think f7 pawn looks dead after
  1. Rae1
  Obviously threats Re7, but even if black prevents it (Nc6), white still plays Bxf7+ and black can’t take with his rook due to Re8 mating!

  I may have missed something (as usual), but I could not find good moves for black after 1. Rae1.

  1. Qg6
  Black has no defence against
  2. Qh7+
  If 1. …Be4, then
  2. Rxe4
  If 1. …R(f)e8
  2. Qh7+ Kf8
  3. Qh8++
  Other moves, such as 1…Qxh2+
  only delay the end.

  Gosh.
  When I get the solution it’s obvious, but simple as it is, this is damned easy to miss….
