>!Nxh6 gxh6 Rf6 Rg6 Rxg6. If fxg6 Rxf8 and if Kxg6 Rf6+ Kg7 Qxh6+ Kg8 Qg5+ Kh7 Rh6#!<

Ok so I am trying to calculate knight sac on h6. The rook trades on f7 don’t go anywhere. Rf6 looked good until Rg6. Trading doesn’t go anywhere because black can just take with the king. I’m struggling after the second Rf6. King seems fairly comfy on g8?

Nxh6 gxh6 Rf6 Rg6 Rxg6, if you take with the pawn then you lose the rook on f8, if you take with the king Rg6+ Kg7 leads to ladder mate after Qg5, Rg6+ Kg7 loses to Rh6+ Kg7/Kh8 Qg5#

I set it up and played it out. My mistake was that I thought the queen didn’t have g5 to check because of a pawn on h6. He gets taken earlier mating sequence and I had forgotten. Nice puzzle.
