2. Rg4 Kh7
3. Rh4 Kg8
4. Rh8#

Hello
1. Bxf6+ , hxg4
2. Rxg4+ , Kh7
3. Rh4+ , Kg8
4. Rh8#
Greetings from Spain
Hi all! Its fun that the bishop and the rook together are enough to mate the black king (with the help of the precious pawn – that takes the g6 square) 1 Bxf6+ hxg4 2. Rxg4+ Kh7 3. Rh4+ Kg8 4. Rh8 and that´s it.

1. Bf6:+ hg4:
2. Rg4:+ Kh7
3. Rh4+ and mate at h8.
When I first set this position up on the board, I had the placements of the black-squared bishops reversed. That made the solution pretty easy: 1. Qxg7#. That remains my favorite solution to this problem. But, putting the black-squared bishops on their proper squares, my 2nd favorite solution would be:
1. Bxf6+ hxg4
2. Rxg4+ Kh7
3. Rh4+ Kg8
4. Rh8#
Very simple!
1.Bxf6+ hxg4 2.Rxg4+ Kh7 3.Rh4+ kg8 4.Rh8#
Wow, I think I actually solved it!
1 Bxf6+ hxg4
2 Rxg4+ Kh7/Kh8
3 Rh4+ Kg8
4 Rh8#
1. Bf3+ hxg4 2. Rxg4+ Kh7 3. Rh4+ Kg8 4. Rh8 checkmate
From Michael,
