1. Rh8+, Kg4
2. Nf5, any
3. Rh4 ++ mate.
Ravi
1…Rh8+ 2.Kg4 Nf5!
I’d never seen that pattern before–cute.
Pf7
1. Rh8+ Kg4 (forced)
2. Nf5!
The only move Black has to stop 3. Rh4 checkmate is 2… Rh1, which is obviously no good since after 3. Rxh1 Ra3 4. a1=Q Rxa1 5. Rxa1 both white rooks are off the board.

1. … Rh8+ 2. Kg4 Nf5! and Rh4# is coming.
Nf5!
yeah so
1…Rh8+
2. Kg4 Nf5
3. Kxf4 e5+
4. Kg4 Rh4++
Nf5 (threatens Rh8 and then Rh4)
1. Nf5 Kg4
2. Rh8 …
3. Rh4#
1…Rh8 2 Kg4 Nf5 and White has no defense against Rh4 mate. Note that move order does matter as 1…Nf5?? 2 g7! and white breaks free of the mating net and wins.

the rook knight combination is powerful. the knight does the pinning the rook finishes the job. this kind of tag team occurs quite often . slightly more difficult than the last few. took me 5 mili seconds. just kidding. took about a minute. when is kramnik going to play rybka. id like to see those two play a match.
