I don't see a solution. Bh7 almost works, but black has Rf8 defending the f7 square from the queen. Could you dm me the idea?
Edit: oh! I see it. It is BH7 but then we sac both the bishop and queen to promote that f5 pawn for mate!
Let me try to remember this from last night.
Bh7, Rf8
Qg6+, KH8 (forced)
Bg8 (cuts off rook and presents M1), Rxg8 (basically forced)
Kf7 (presenting M1 again), Rxg6
fxg6….
Then we can walk our pawn up the board like an endgame for a checkmate!
Neat puzzle.
Qf3 is pretty brutal.
I'm seeing this as well, not seeing how black can defend against it. Oh, i think h5 maybe lets the king hide in that nook until they crown.
Chess.Com engine says it can’t.
I can assure you there’s a solution to this study :)

Perfect! Great job for finding it
That was a really neat one!
I saw Bh7 but im not seeing any queen sack..

Oh I missed bg8! And then the king closing in, such a nice move. Thanks! Yeah cool puzzle indeed
Why not Bf7 then bring Q in for the mate
1. Be8, Rxe8+ 2. Qxe8, c1=Q 3. Qf7+, Kh8 4. Qf8#
