1.Nxg6+ fxg6 2.Bf6+ Qxf6 3.Rc4+ Kg5 4.a4+ Kf5 5.e4+ Kf4 (Kg4) 6.e5+

Discovered attack and you win the queen.

I hope I didn't miss something, but this should do to win the game :p

I think the first part of this line is correct. However, after 3. Rc4+ then 3... Bf4 4. Rxf4 Qxf4 5. exf4 and white is a pawn up and should queen with some ease.

You're right. I missed the 3... Bf4 variation. In my variation, it's a rook vs a bishop, in yours, white has an easy promotion. But they both win I think

There is better in pcmonsters line:

1. Nxg6+ fxg6

2. Bf6+ Qxf6

3. Rc4+ Kg5

4. h4+ Kf5

5. g4+ hxg4

6. Rf4+! Bxf4

7. e4#

Therefore Nytik's line is correct but White wins easily in that endgame.
