..Rg1+
KxR Rg8#
Rg1++ does the trick, followed by Rg8+ and Rg2#. Rook power!
rg1
kxg1 rg8
kf2 rg2#
Rg1
Let’s see. haven’t tried this in a while…
1. …, Rg1 dbl ch
2. K:g1, Rg8+
3. Kf2, Rg2 mate
1. … , Rg1+
2. Kxg1 , Rg8+
3. Kf2 , Rg2++
Thanks Susan!!!
I’m loving it! 😀
1.Rg1++…Kg1
2.Rg8+…Kf2
3.Rg2 mate
1. -, Rg1++ 2. Kxg1, Rg8+ 3. Kf2, Rg2# looks forced.
Best wishes

1. Rg1+. Kg1
2. Rg8+, Kf2
3. Qg2 mate.
Anon@9:45 – you got the first two moves right, however, 3.Qg2 is NOT mate due to white’s queen on b7.
1. Rg1+ Kg1
2. Rg8+ Kf2
3. Rg2 mate.
Not 3 Qg2 but Rg2. Rg2 can be countered by Qxg2
1. Rg1+. Kg1
2. Rg8+, Kf2
3. Rg2 mate.
NOT 3. Qg3 as Qxg2 refutes
Yep, same moves, different finish.
Kinda clever that Q stays involved despite being attacked I guess.
1. …, f3
2. Qxd5, Rxh2+
3. Kg1, Reg8+ and mate
Quite pretty!
1. ….Rg1! (doublecheck)
2. Kg1 Rg8
3. Kf2 Rg2# White’s queen is forced to stare helplessly, just one lousy move away from being able to take action.
