1. Qxf8+ I'm not sure how that is correct. After Rxf8 how do you continue?
BTW, what does the +- mean?

I trust you saw the full continuation earlier Lol, +- means 'decisive advantage for white' and -+ means the same for black. It can be mate as well as great material advantage, e.g. a spare queen or a rook when queens are exchanged or a pawn that is to promote in an endgame.
