How did Red ( to move ) achieve checkmate  from this position ? ( A game from China on June 8, 2016 ) 

If you have problems with the notations, consult :

Highlight the following space for solution: 

1. R3+2  E5+7  2. H2+4  K5=6  3. C7=4  R5=6  4. H4+2 

EGleb

Is the mate supposed to be forced?

My engine prefers 1. ... Rxe4 (Western algebraic notation; I suppose it's R5+1 in traditional notation) and then it doesn't find a mate (but it gives a large advantage to White/Red). If I enter 1. ... Exg6 (E5+7) it finds the mate immediately.
