Do you have two rooks on f1? In other words: you use 3 rooks! 😉

White only has perpetual check.

How exactly do u jump from the king from f8 to h7on move 3?
to “Anonymous @ 1:59” from “Anonymous @ 7:05”
The second variation doesn’t imply three rooks because both White rooks are still on the board after 1…Kh7.
Thanks for reading my first post.
