Hello Edward, After 1. Qb1, threatening mate at h7 I think there may be a better response than h6. what if Black plays a forcing move: 1... Re1+ and White is forced to take the rook to get out of check. 2. Qxe1 Qxc7 now Rooks are traded and Black has a chance to renew his own mate threat with the other Rook if the White Queen leaves the e-file.
