SILLY
What a silly puzzle...If you move your castle to c8 what stops the the black castle at d8 to just take it.
Who in their right mind would move their queen to g6 then...

2.Rc8 opens a discovered attack on black's queen. If 2...Rxc8 then 3.Qxb6 wins a queen for a rook. If black however plays 2...Qxd4 than it is a backrank mate with 3.Rxd8#. There is no safe square for the black queen from where she can keep the d8-rook defended. All alternatives are just as bad for black as is 2...Qf6.
