Tactic: save the game

In the following position, black just played 23...Rad8

After staring at this seemingly hopeless position for a few minutes, I played 24.Rxf3 and entered a losing endgame.

Computer analysis revealed a way for white to stay in the game, can you find it?

Is the first move Qxg6+?

Not going to give that big of a hint. However, the "simple desperado" doesn't work because black gets a fork at the end.

Touche.

Let's try that again, shall we?

1.Qxd8 Qxf1+

2.Rxf1 Rxd8

Qc7 looks good. Apparently not because it was deleted. Perhaps it's nothing after Qd5.

Qc7 Qxd3+ is check.

I don't believe you.

Yeah, I suck at chess.

No....honestly....

Alright, officer, I confess! I made the whole thing up!!

It's Bxg6 indeed, but none of you are posting the key line!
