Chess Solution no 18

 
Analysis suggests the following solution: 
 
1. ...  Qxf2+
2. Kh1  Qf3+
3. Kg1 (or Kh2)  Qxg3+
4. Kh1  Qh2#
 
However, the game continued like this:
 
1. ...  Qxf2+
2. Kh1  Qe1+
 
... and white resigned. It is not clear whether he thought he was going to lose his bishop by:
 
3. Kh2  Qxc1
 
... or whether he spotted two further solutions to my original problem:
 
1. ...  Qxf2+
2. Kh1  Qe1+
3. Kh2  Qxg3+
4. Kh1  Qh2#

... and:

1. ...  Qxf2+
2. Kh1  Qe1+
3. Qf1  Qxf1+
4. Kh2  Rf2#
