I ain't seein' it

I like 1. Qc3+ but it is no forced win or sumthin

Probably you want 1. Be5+ dxe5 2. Ne6+

yes, and if 1. ... Nf6, then the simple Rxg3+ does the job

Note that white cannot double Rooks on the g-file too soon - if Black can play ...Qg8 and give up a Queen for Rook, he will live.

"What's against 6.Rhg1 then?" (I had read that part but didn't get it)

Ya, it's 6...Rxg3 7. Rxg3 Qg8, but as said, I am not understanding this position, hence the question. 😛

Can white even win anymore after 7...Qg8? Looks doubtful. Even if he can, it's a much much tougher win than if he'd just played 6.Qh6+.
