Hello Edward,
You did a very good job of analyzing this somewhat deceptive problem. When
Paul posts his analysis I think you will find it interesting, so look for it
soon.
I say this is deceptive because black actually sets a trap by taking the pawn
and appearing to offer a Rook. Because as you clearly point out taking the
rook leads to mate. So white must find other defenses to the check.

Hello all,
Doctor Z has his scalpel ready. My solution:
1. -Rxg3 (Rook takes pawn.)
2. hxg3 (Pawn takes rook.) Qxg3+ (Queen takes pawn.)
3. Kh1 (only escape square) Qh3+
4. Rh2 Qxf1+ (Queen takes rook.)
5. Qg1 (blocking check) Qxg1++
2. Kh1 Rg2
3. Rxg2 (Rook takes rook.) Qxg2++ (Queen takes rook for checkmate.)
or
3. Re2-e1 Rxh2+ (Rook takes pawn.)
4. Kxh2 (King takes rook.) Qg2++
2. Kf2 Rf3+
3. Kxf3 (King takes rook.) Qg3++
The f5 pawn prevents Ke4.
Edward
