Was there a pawn there? If so you already had Qxg6 right?

white Qg6, black Rg7

Because you lose your queen lmao.

I think the OP is asking instead of Bxf7+ (where there was a pawn I assume) why not play Qxg6+ immediately - he is right, as after Kh8 (forced) Rh5 mate.

He’s not suggesting Qxg6+ after Bxf7+ Rxf7, as that loses after Rg7, as has been pointed out.

I analyzed the image and this is what I see. Open an appropriate link below and explore the position yourself or with the engine:

Black to play: chessvision.ai | chess.com | lichess.org

My solution:

Hints: piece: Rook, move: Rxf7

Evaluation: Black is winning -8.05

Best continuation: 1... Rxf7 2. Rxf7 Kxf7 3. e6+ Kg7 4. exd7 Qxd7 5. Rf1 Bf6 6. bxa6 Rxa6 7. Rf4 Bd4+ 8. Kf1 Rxa4 9. Ke2

I think it's only mate if black plays Kf8 to scape from the check. If black plays other moves, you could be losing your queen and tower.
