Chess

First chess composition. 1000 Degen to the first who gets this right! I think it's quite hard. 
White to move- what's the best continuation?

this is hard! any idea what ELO level this is?

1. hxg8=Q+, Kxg8
2. Rxg7+, Kxg7.. (if 2..Kh8, then 3. Qf8#)
3. Qf8+ (and then perpetual checks), 3..Kg6
4. Qg7+, Kh5
5. Qg5+, and black has to take.

1/2-1/2

Took me a while.. here's my thought process:
1. I assume we’re looking for a draw - no material
2. black king has 1 square available to escape - e6 (and leads to mate for white with the queen and rook).
3. The last thing is that our king literally has no escape squares and so that made me look for stalemates.
