Since Black refuses to resign, White decides to toy with Black's mind.

I assume you mean Qh6

But white can't play that immediately because of 2...Rh2+ followed by 3. Re4+ which leads to a continuous check of white's king by black's queen. If white plays poorly, this will result in checkmate or the loss of his queen.

No, he's talking about move 12. Click on Continuation and you'll find it.

You are absolutely right.

Sorry about that. I see no reason why 12. Qf8 shouldn't be played.
