Yeah, that's what I thought at first because you win the queen after 3 moves instead of 4.
Then I thought Qe1 threatening Rh1# was even better because the queen would have to sacrifice itself with Qxf1 on move 2. (Or if g pawn moves Qf2#)

But the problem with both of these solutions is that white can play b6 at the end, whereas in the Rh1+ solution white has to play something like Kh2 to prevent Qf4# and then black has the chance to play something takes b5.

I forgot white was still allowed to play moves after losing the queen...

Hope that explains things

Turning the bite around the head
(Qf4) is shorter & more comfortable than (Rh1) to catch white Queen!
