Another gem from Informant 95

white to move



How did Shirov finish off his opponent?

couldn't get the Fen to work....so this is from just looking at it....

1. Qf8+ Nxd8 2. gxf8=Q+.....

If Ke6 3. Qxh6+ Kf7 4. Qd8+ Kd7 Rf7+....

Or

Kd7 Rf7+ Ke6 Qxh6+ Kxf7 Qxc6


am I close??

is it qf8 - gets taken my the knight then pawn takes it turning into a gueen then qf7?

1.Rf7 wins too
