Very nice puzzle and game.

Also - I believe the win for mathijs' line is 3. Rh1, is this correct? Black has to give up material to block the discovered mate after White moves the king.

Hi Mathijs,

Good question!
I completely forget to address this defense.
There is a convincing win however and it has to do with the h-file.
Just look for a "silent" move!

What about (1.Rg4 Be7 2.hxg5) Bxg5? I can't see a win.
