I reached this position during a game on uchess.com (no I WASN'T BLACK!)



white to move and I called the position won for white. Was I wrong and black couldve salvaged it?

btw black's previous move was h6-h5.

the sequence that played out was 1. Qg7+ Qxg7 2. Rxg7+ Kh6 3. Rg8 Kh7 4. R1g7+ Kh6 5. Rxb7 which actually threatens Rh8#

Yes at first I saw Nf3 Ng5 plan, but naturally Qg7+ is forcing and therefore much better.
