[need a hint?]

White to move and win
1.Rxg8+ Kxg8
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
Black's loss is obvious if he flees with the king, instead of
capturing the rook. 1...Ke7 2.Rxc8 (Or even 2.Qg5+ ) 2...Bxc8
3.Qg5+ And White wins. 2.Qh6 Qf8 3.Rg1+
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
3...Qg7 Sadly for Black, there is nothing else.
3...Rg7 4.Rxg7+ Qxg7 5.Qxg7 mate. 4.Rxg7+
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
And you can see that White will win easily. There is even a
forced mate. See if you can work it out.
4...Kf8 5.Rxf7+ Kxf7 6.Qg7+ Ke8 7.Nf6+ Kd8 8.Qd7#
