    1. Bf6 Rf3
    If the Black rook moves off the third rank, then 2. g4 is mate.

    2. Kg2 traps the rook.

    Best i could find was

    1. Bf6 Rf3 (must prevent g4)
    2. Kg2 Kg4
    3. Rd7

    apparently winning the N though after

    3. … f4
    4. gxf4 Rxf4
    5. Rxf7

    somebody could probably win this but probably not me
