I just checked he had played Ra8 in the game!

Ra8 looks winning too, but is a bit slower. I was thinking Qh6 also but it fails to Re1+. I figured all I needed to do was an unblockable check without using bishop or knight, once I realised that, the solution was quite simple.

A nice clean queen sacrifice.

very easy, queen sacrifice for deflection and then Ra8 and they just place their piece in the way just to slow mate but mate is inevitable.
