thats a great puzzle. :)

the way i see it, white had the position and material to pull off the win unless they made some really dumb moves

nice puzzle to make you think in terms of all of your pieces

its too easy.

 NF6 is met by QXr ++

I make two mistakes!

good one 

After:  2. Qf6+ Nxf6 3. Pxf6+ ....

--> Also done.

Move 6... or 6.Rxh8+ Kxh8   7.Qf6+ ...---> done

I echo terricotta's question. Why doesn't the rook take the bishop?

very nice

it must be a series of checks because black could just take the rook and mate if it was black to move

This is sure to eliminate all second-guessing here:

Excellent job with the alternate lines.

what if 1.....rxh6? what will white next move be?

Then... 2. Qf6+ Nxf6 3. exf6+ Kh7 4. Ng5+ Kg8 5. Rd8+ Rxd8 6. Rx8#

In your first sideline not 4...Qf1+?? but 4...Qxd1++.  Also in that same line instead of 4. Qxf6?? play 4. Rg7+ Kf8 5. Qxf6+ (now Qf6 is check) Ke8 6. Qe7++.

Terricotta, if black plays 1)..Rxh6, then follow 2)Qf6+!! - Nxf6 3)exf6+ - Kg8 4)Rd8+ Rxd8 5)Rxd8+ Kh7 6)Ng5#.

If 4. Qxf6?? then Qxd1++ or Rxd1++.
