nice

it took me a while but 1.Rfg6!! seems to do the trick..... if 1..., Qxg6 2.Qxf8+!, ....then 3.Rh8++; if 1..., Rxg5 2.Qxf8+!,... actually 2.Qxf8+! works with any black's move and then either Rh8++ or Nf6++.

Well done

Well done on solving it. It took me a while to get it right, and the rather unnaturalness of the position isn't very nice, but nevertheless, have a metaphorical lollipop :)
