Chess solution

Everyday I read The Jakarta Post and The Chess Quiz. I am not sure whether the solution of the Chess Quiz dated Jan. 15, 1997, page 8 is correct, since the black could not force mate.

The possibility is: 1...Re1ch 2. Kf2 if 3... Rf1ch 4. Ke3 and if 4...Qe6ch 5. Ne4

Note: You are right. The best possibility for black is simply to get a rook after 1... Re1ch 2. Kf2 Qf6ch 3. Qf4 Qxf4 4. gxf4 Rxd1. Thank you for your correction.
