1. … Re4 2. …. Bg6#
If 1…Re4?? then 2.Rd8+ wins for white!
Mate in 2
True. Pawn mate.
g6+ – Kh6
g5+ – Kh5
Rh6# mate
Rh6+
Bxh6 g6++
1. Re4 2. Bg6#
Re4, Bf4 White wins but not so cleanly.
First, Black has to make White not move.1…g6! will win. The king will have no more moves after this.After 2.Kh6, Black will play 2… g5+ (which is a discovered check from the e6-rook and also clearing the rook’s path) is deadly.3.Kh5 horrible for White but that is the only choice.3…Rh6 is mate.
except for the fact that after 3..Rh6 there is nothing protecting the rook.
