…Rb5, Ka4 Rb8
1.Rb5+ Ka4 Is the mate in sight? does not seem so. but
2.Rb8! a surprise.If Black plays 2…RxR 3.Ra8# else BR moves in a file he loses B.
Correction.
2…. RxR 2.Ra6#
1……. Rb8
2. Rxb8, Ra6 is not a mate
3. Kxa6 black losses 2 rooks
Rf5.
1. … Re6 (threatening Re2, Ra2#)
2. Ra6 Rb5+
3. Ka4 Rxa6#
Sorry, wrong line. Missed
1. … Re6
2. Rc8+
Because of what Vivek said, I thought it was 1…Rb5, except that white can get out of mate, however, as there is one move, after that I almost overlooked. I don’t agree with immeidate mate, though, but in the long run, within 10 moves, black has an inevitable mating sequence after 1…Re6
1…. Rb8 is absolutely wrong.
First 1….. Rb5+ is to be played to push BK to a4 and then 2….. Rb8
