Dumb noob tactic fail -8

This one has a 62% pass rate so it must be pretty easy but I just don't get it.

Why is rf7 the solution?

The black queen can take the rook and even if the white queen takes the pawn h6 check and moves the bishop in to h7 the black queen can still take the bishop.

 

is this the correct forum to post tactics questions or which forum should it be in?

IDK if this is the right forum or not, but it looks to me like on Rxf7, 2.Qxh6+ if black moves Qh7, then Qxh7 mate. If 2. Kg8 then Rf5+, Qf7,Qxf7 mate.

The bishop never moves to h7

Rf7, if the black queen takes the rook, otherwise, rook trade for black wueeb sounds good.  If black queen takes, then then 3. Qh6.

 

And I see somebody already answered it!

OK Rh5 forces at least a loss of the black queen.

Fair enough.

Thanks.
