Qd4 is the key move then either g4 or f6 depending on king move or pawn move leads to mate 🙂
Hello
1. Rh8
Black has 3 possible moves
1. …. , a2 or Kd4 or Kb4
2. Rh4#
Greetings from Spain
1. Rh8 Any 2. Rh4#
1. Rh8, so the queen can remain to e3 what the pawn is to a3
way too hard
rh8!
doesn’t matter what black moves.
….
rh4++
Im not good with chess notation but u get the idea. You must bring the rook behind the queen so the lady covers the black E3 Square.
1. Rh8 …
2. Rh4# 1-0
Can’t play on the F file, or Rf4 blocks the Queen protecting Ke3.
rh with the idea of rh4# which is unstoppable.
Rh8!
I have no clue, either.
It’s pretty much the most obvious move. Rh8.
1.Rh8! (since in f8 the rook can’t mate on f4 coz it blocks the e3 square from the queen. any other square in the 8th rank can be followed by the black king) then Rh4#.
