Answer

I had idea to lock king by knights: Nxh4-f3.
First try is unsuccesful - 1.Nxh4 Kxh4! -+
So I must lose tempo by king (what else) move.
Hmm... 1.K~ g1Q 2.Nxh4.
But white must move their king so that black queen can't check him like that - 2.-- Q~+ with 3.-- Kxh4.
Ok, it looks like that - 1.Kc6 g1Q 2.Nxh4 (Qh1+ 4.Nhf3)
But what about 1.Kc6 c3? Let's try again - 2.dxc3 g1Q 3.Nxh4. And it works!! :)

Final answer:
1.Kc6 g1Q 2.Nxh4 with 3.Nhf3 =
1.--- c3 2.dxc3 g1Q 3.Nxh4 with 4.Nhf3 =
