White actually mates:
1) Qe6+ Kh8
2) Qh3+ Kg8
3) Qh7+ Kf8
4) Ne6+ Kf7
5) Qxg7+ Kxe6
6) Qxg6#
Qe6+-Kh8 Nf7+Kh8 Nf7+ draw
Harry, you were on the right track:
1. Qe6 Kh8
2. Qh3 Kg8
3. Qh7! Kf8
4. Ne6!
And white’s rook on the d-file is fatal to black’s king by cutting off the retreat….
4. …..Kf7 (Ke8 5.Qg6#)
5. Qg7! Ke6 (Ke8 6.Qg6#)
6. Qg6#.
There is something missing in my solution. White can in fact.win!
1.Qe6+.Kh8.
2.Qh3+.Kg8.
3.Qh7+.Kf8.
4.Ne6+.
