Mate in 5 Exercise 67

[fernandoylet]

White plays and wins in 4 moves https://lichess.org/CSLnPEa6

1. Re8 Rh8 2. Rxh8+ Kxh8 3. f8=Q+ Kh7 4. Qg7#

The analysis board does checkmate in 5 moves

1. Re7 Rg8+ 2. fxg8=Q+ Kxg8 3. Rc7 Kh8 4. Kg6 Kg8 5. Rc8#

I didn't play this safe. If the tower captured my pawn, I'd be in trouble.
