Oh sorry Qh5 isn't mate BUT I analyzed the position and came up with a conclusion - IN any variation if black has the right response white isn't winning.

EXAMPLE: 1. Qh5 Qh6 2. Qf5 Instead of the puzzle ending black plays Qg3 and either Trades queens or move his rook along the 8th rank to give the king flight squares from Checkmate.

White is winning, but it'll take a few more moves for that to become clear.

I would probably need something like this to calculate or like this to evaluate the position.

1 Qh5 Qg6 2 Qxg6 gxg6 3 Rxg6 f6 4 Rg1+ Kf7 5 Rh7+ Ke6 6 Rgg7 picks up a pawn for an excellent endgame, but you're right I can't see any forced wins here...
