This is so great that I thought it couldn't be true. But I can't refute it. Black can defend against the mate though I think if he gives some material back. What I'm posting is a series of seemingly forced moves (at least Black's moves are), and I'm not sure what happens after that.

This is a kind of a position, that makes me stop by the table... 🙂
In my humble (and quick) opinion if Black play K ... h8 White can get away with perpetual by Qg5.
If Black play 1... Kh6, White must stick with perpetual because
Rg1 Rg8,
Qf4+ Kh7,
Qf5+ Kh8,
does not give a check-mate.
But if someone finds a forced win for White here, I would really be embarrassed 😳
