You are right. I didn't do it very clever, otherwise I would have found that it
is mate in 14 (at most). I did not try Rxf2 after Kg2 first. The othe move I did
not try was after 5. Ke1 Bxe4 6. a4 (or a3, b4, etc.) Qe3. Then for example 7.
Rf2 Bxg3 8. hxg3 h5

I now have mate in 10 after either of those.
