  1.Rxf7+ Rxf7 (a)
  2.Rg6+ (b) Kf8 (c)
  3.Rg8+ Kxg8
  4.Qe8+ Kg7 or Kh7
  5.Qxf7+ Kh8 (d)
  6.Qg8+
  (a)1… Kxf7 2.Qg6#
  (b)Here I had irresistible temptation to play 2.Qg6+,may be the instinct to bring the Q closer to black K.However 2… Kf8 3.Re8+ Kxe8 4.Qxf8+ black K escapes.
  (c)2…. Kh7 3.Rh6+ Kg8 (3… Kxh6 4.Qg6#) 5.Qxf7#
  (d)5…. Kh6 6.Qg6#
