I am pretty tempted by 1. Ra1 and if for example 1. ...Qc4, I can play 2.Qxf8 followed by 3. Ra8+ which mates soon. The other queen retreats don't seem to fare any better.
1. Ra1 Qb2 2. Qxf8+ and white wins a rook. If 2. ... Kxf8 then 3. Ra8+ Qb8 3. Rxb8#. All that black has left is to accept the loss of rook (2. ... Kh7).

1.Ra1
1...Qc4 2.Qxf8+ Kh7 （ 2...Kxf8 3.Ra8+ ）
3.Nxf5 Rxf5
1...Qxf2+ 2.Kxf2 Nxd4+ 3.Kg1
1.Qxf8+?? Kxf8 2.Ra1 Qxa1 3.Rxa1 Nxd4 4.Ra8+ Ke7
1. Ra1, with the idea 2. Qf8:+ and 3. Ra8 mate, seems to win out of hand.
Ra1, Q moves then Qxf8. or am i missing something?
1. Ra1 Qxa1
2. Rxa1 1-0
If 1. ... Qxx (any other move)
2. Qxf8+ Kxf8 (forced, else rook down)
3. Ra8+ 1-0
Ra1
I like:
1. Ra1!
Attacking queen and preparing a later Ra8+.
1. ... Qc4 anything better?
2. Qxf8+!
The "bomb". But I saw this move right away.
2. ... Kh7 (Kxf8?? Ra8+ Qc8 Rxc8#)
and white is up with a rook.
1. Ra1 Qc4 or Qb2 or Qd2
2. Qxf8+
2. … Kh7
White is up a rook.
2. … Kxf8
3. Ra8#
or
3. Ra8+ Qb8
4. Rxb8#
White wins at least a rook, or mates if Black doesn't recapture on f8.
1. Ra1 Qc4 (or Qb2 or Qd2) 2. Qxf8+ Kxf8 3. Ra8+ Qc8 4. Rxc8#
