      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

                    I did variations where the room doesn’t take the queen, you just attack the rook with the king

                  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
