Three Move
1. Qg3-g5 Qe2xc2
2. Qg5xh6 Kh7-g8
3. Qh6-h8
that is not going to happen, the pawn h6 will take the queen. or queen black Qe2 will go Qe5 check.
In this case you keep checking the other king until mate. If you don’t, you can lose your momentum very quickly. Look what happens if you move your queen from g3 to g5 and don’t check with your rook,as someone here suggested. The black queen should not then take the free white bishop. It checks the white king and threatens the white queen simultaneously. The tables are now turned and black gets a breather and probably comes out a piece ahead.
