I could not find a calculable mate in every variation, but White wins big
anyway:
1.Rxg7+ Kxg7 2.Bb2+ Kf8
[2...Re5 3.Bxe5+ Kf7 4.Qh5+ Ke6 5.Qg6+ Kxe5 6.Qd6+ Kxe4 7.Re1+ Qe3
8.Qe6+ and mates]
3.Rf1+ Ke7 4.Nc5+ Kd8
[4...Kd6 5.Rf6+ Re6 6.Qe5+ Kc6 7.Nxb3 +-]
5.Bf6+ Kc7 6.Be5+ Kd8 7.Rd1+
[or 7.Qd2+ Nd5 8.Bf6+ Kc7 9.Nxb3 +-]
7...Qd5 8.Nxb7+ Kd7 9.Rxd5+ Nxd5 10.Nd6 +-
