What about 5. .... Kg5?? Kh5 makes this easy, but Kg5 results in trading off rooks with no advantage taken.

I agree.... and with 4.Nf4 we won the rook.... ¿Truth?

Actually I don't think so. 4. Nf4 was the first mistake I made. Basically making that move would allow Rg3, which prevents the mate with Rh5. Instead the King has a way out now, all eventually resulting in a trade off of the rooks at G1 and G3. At least that's how I seeing it.

If 5...Kg5, then 6. Nh3+ loses the rook.
