Hello puzzlers,
Here's the new solution with Richard's suggestion of the knight taking the
bishop.
1. Qxf6 (Queen takes knight.) Nxc4 (Knight takes bishop.)
2. Qf7
White threatens Rxh7++ or Rg8++ / Qg8++.
2. -Be6 (protects g8)
3. Rxh7++
2. -Qd7
3. Rg8++ / Qg8++
Black has only one move to prolong the game. It's Qxh2+. Then, white
replies with Kxh2.

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.
