    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

                I tried that but ultimately you lose the queen and can’t stop the pawn queening. The following most likely would be Re4+, then if you move f2 it’s check, f4 you loss your queen and black queens

                  Doh I’m an idiot, missed Re4 somehow

          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

            Nah i think you have to lose the queen to win
