I didn't understand

I found the solution.

But why does black play 4. Kg8 and not 4. f5 ???

Any help welcome.

Re. But why does black play 4. Kg8 and not 4. f5 ???

I think then 5. Ng5, RXe1+, 6. Kh2...nothing much black can do ... White will play 7. Qh4+ and eventually win the rook back.

"...nothing much black can do ..."

I think, after

1. ... Kh8
2. dxc6 Qxd4
3. Qxd4 Bxc6
4. Qc4 f5
5. Ng5 Rxe1+
6. Kh2 Rd5
7. Qh4+ Kg8
8. Qh7+ Kf8
9. Qh8+ Ke7
10. Qxg7+ Kd8

black looks much better.

Not convincrd of 6. ... Re4?

I think,

6. Kh2 Re4

is not better. It loses a quality:

7. Nxe4
