How is it so hard to post a bloody puzzle?

Nice one! 6-move lookahead required. I call such mates "corner shelf mates" after somebody pointed out that I missed such a mate in a game I posted (https://www.chess.com/forum/view/game-showcase/a-scandinavian-friday-the-13th-game), and now I'm seeing them fairly often in games like this. I'll admit I missed it in this game, too. Darn. When will I ever learn to detect their potential appearance?

Fun puzzle! I was able to see the first three moves very quickly, but the rest took me a bit more time to figure out. It definitely contains some key tactical themes. Thanks for posting; I quite enjoyed it!

A strong puzzle, though white is completely winning in many lines after the first 3 moves.

Yes, I was looking first at 1. Rhe1 Qxg2 2. Rxe7, and suddenly Black is in big trouble. That's probably what I would have played in a real game if I had failed to see the tactical win.
