Hello Dr. Z,
Since white's vital c4 Bishop is loose, Black's first move after Qxf6 should be:
1. ... Nxc4, now black has traded a knight for white's key bishop blunting the
mate threat.

Hello puzzlers,
Doctor Z is ready to operate. My solution is more direct. I suggest taking the
knight protecting the black king.
1. Qxf6 (Queen takes Knight.)
1. -Qxf6 (Black queen takes white queen.)
2. Rg8++
1. -Be6 (Black bishop blocks white bishop at Bc4.)
2. Rg8++
1. -h5 (creating escape square)
2. Rg8+ Kh7 (only escape square)
3. Qg7++ / Qh8++ (checkmate)
Note how Rg8+ employs the double check. The queen at f6 and rook at g8 check
the black king at the same time. The black king must move because of the
inability to block check.
