better solution?

2....Rg6+
3. Kh1 De2

the proposed solution is not the best due to
4....Qf1#

Neither line works.

2....Rg6+ fails to 3.Kf1, and the black queen is unable to supply a useful check.

the proposed solution is best because the black queen is pinned to the king and unable to move off the diagonal. (I fell for that when solving myself.)
