    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

                    The two key moves are Bc3 & Ke2

                    Tell me what you think of the sequence starting Ke2, Pg2, Qe1

                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
