Comments.Text: @jknappen what do you mean by stipulation?  The problem states "white to move, find the best move".  Does that answer your question?  I guess I should have included that wording in the question.

  You're absolutely right. Qe6 only seems to draw:
  6k1/1p3rpp/1q1p4/p2Pp3/P5Q1/1P3PP1/2R3KP/8 w - - 3 13
  
  1. Qe6 g6 2. Rc8 Kg7
  
  There's no forced win for white here as far as I can see.

  Often there are several strong moves and the puzzle solution lists just one of them.
  
  In this case however, it seems to be a mistake. Possibly the second move was given instead of the first, with the intended solution being 1.Rc8 Rf8 2.Qe6+.
