Black to move. How should Black proceed?

Hilarious. Everything en prise but White helpless.

Whoa, I got the ending wrong
Rxg2+ Kh1
Rg1+ Kxg1
Rg8#

1… Rxg2+
2. Kh1 Rg1+
3. Kxg1 Rg8+
4. Kf2 Rg2#
-Raymond 🙂
1… Rxg2+
2. Kh1 Rg1+
3. Kxg1 Rg8+
4. Kf2 Rg2#
-Raymond 🙂
Kind of like an x-ray…
Rxg2+ Kh1
Rg1+ Kxg1
Rg8+ Kf2
Rg7#
…. Rxg2
Kh1 Rg1 !
Kxg1 Rg8
Kf2 Rg2 mate
Not sure what to do. Too many hanging pieces.
1.-Rxg2+ 2. Kh1 Rg1++ 3, Kxg1 Rg8+ 4.Kf2 Rg2#
Having looked at this for about 10 minutes, I see nothing more than a draw for black:
1. ……Rg2
2. Kh1 f3
3. Re5 Qe5 And I don’t see a defense against Qh2#. So White must take at d5,
1. ……Rg2
2. Kh1 f3
3. Qd5 Rh2
4. Kg1 Rg2 is a draw by perpetual.
I toyed with double checks after Rg2, but couldn’t find a workable line for a win. The king escapes up the h-file, and black can never bring a rook back to g8 because of the b3 bishop, but these lines are also draws, I think, by perpetual, but I didn’t work them out completely.
is mate with rooks.
rg2 and then rg1
followed by rg8 and rg2
1…Rxg2+ 2. Kh1 Rg1+ 3.Kxg1 Rg8+ 4.Kf2 Rg2#
Easy. Black mates the…Rg2+ Kh1 Rg1++ Kg1 Rg8+ Kf2 Rg2#
you can get out of the pin by exchanging dark square bishops, but that’s not enough as white is a piece down…
I think;
1. Rxb7+, Ka8 2. Rb8+!!, Kxb8 3. Rb1+, Kc7
4. Rb7++
1 … Rxg2+
2 Kh1 Rg1+!!
3 Kxg1 Rg8+
4 Kf2 Rg2#
Would 1…Rxg2+ work? 2. Kh8 Rg1+ Kxg1 Rg8+ 3. Kf7 Rg2#
This seems to do the trick:
1. … Rxg2+
2. Kh1 f3
E.g. if 3. Qxd5 Rxh2+, 4. Kg1 Rg8+ and I don’t see any other line for white that forestalls the inevitable.
1..Rxg2 2.Kh1 Rxd2 3.Kg1 Rg8++
FR IME
RXPG2+ KH1
RG1+ KXR
RB8+ MATE
OR
RXP+ KH1
RG1+ KXR
RG8+ MATE
Try mate in 4
Very neat!
Rxg2+ Kh1 Rg1++ Kxg1 Rg8+ Kf2 Rg2#
The double discovered check on g1 is the tricky move.
..Rxg2+ 2)Kh1 Rg1++ 3)KxR Rg8+ 4)Kf2 Rg2#

rxp+ kh1
rg1+ kxr
rg8+ kf2
rg2+ mate
Simple, and forced.
1. … Rxg2+
2. Kh1 Rg1+
3. Kxg1 Rg8+
4. Kf2 Rg2 mate
i like the check with the rook taking b7 then king into corner and you can take a7 and then king takes a7 and then discovered bishop check… hmmm… well…
1… Rg2 2. Kh1 Rg1 3. Kg1 Rg8 4. Kf2 Rg2
I see checkmate in 4:
1. … Rxg2+
2. Kh1 Rg1+
3. Kxg1 Rg8+
4. Kf2 Rg2#
Black has a winning continuation beginning with …Rxg2+, forcing
Kh1.Find Black’s next powerful, forcing move ! ( Hint: White will be forced to CAPTURE because no other move is legal).
1. .. Rxg2
2. Kh1 Rg1++
3. Kxg1 Rg8+
4. Kf2 Rg2#
I think this works:
1 … Rxg2+
2 Kh1 Rg1+
3 Kxg1 Rg8+
4 Kf2 Rg2#
1. Rxg2+ Kh1
2. Rg1+ Kxg1
3. Rg8+ Kf7
4. Rg2++
