        Hang on im still onto it.

        New plan

        Bc6

        Rb1 checking king

        Kd2

        Rb2 checking King

        Kc1

        Rook must leave or be taken. Anywhere doesnt matter.

        Qg2 checkmate

          Right, but what about 1. Bc6 Rb1+ 2. Kd2 Rxh1?

              Bc6, Rb1, Ke2, RxH1, BxH1, Pg2, Nf4, Kg3/h4, Nxg2. That’s as far as I’ve gotten

                Once white loses their queen, a mate is impossible

                  Got a modification on it. I think it works…

                  Bc6, Rb1, Ke2, Rxh1, Bg2+,Kxg2,Nf4+,Kg1,Ke1,Pg2,Ke2#

                  ? I dunno if my logic is right, but pretty sure that might be it, been fiddling moves for a while…

                    Yeah that’s the same answer i got.

                    I think that’s the best way. But I’m by no means an expert

                    Nice, I think you have it. I assume your last notation means Knight, not King

                    Given black still has pieces, in this case it probably is

              Nvm, turns out that free queen is actually the bait for a checkmate
