Daily chess puzzle: Check Mate #293

Another puzzle from Dragoslav Andric’s 1981 book “Matni Udar”.

White to play and win

Kirjakov v Zuravljev, Riga 1965

Solution

The game move, 1 Rf1! is spectacular, but I chose the more prosaic 1 Qh6! which Komodo says is equally strong, both +5:  Check/check/check and a black rook falls off.
