Rxh2+
1. ..Rh2+ (wrong Rook)fails because of
2.Kxh2! Rf2+
3.Kxg3! RxB2
4.Rxc5
The correct move is
1. ..Rf2+!!
2.Qxf2 Rxh2+!!
3.Kxh2 Qxf2#

that took a few minutes.. I dont know why it did..i usually see it faster than that.. i was looking at bishop for awhile..
An utterly beautiful double rook sacrifice in one key line!!
1. Rf2! Qf2
Or [1. …Kg1 2.Rf1 Kg2 3.Qg1#]; or [1. …Kg3 2.Rh3#]. Continuing:
2. Rh2!! and no matter what black does, 3.Qf2 is mate. Astounding!
1 Rf2+!! Qxf2 (if Kxg3 2.Rh3# and if Rg1 2.Rf1+ and Qg1#) 2.Rh2+ following Qxf2#
Rf2+ Qxf2
Rh2+ Kxg3 (if … Kxh2, Qxf2 with a mating attack)
Qf2+ mate follows
1…Rf2+
2.Qf2 Rh2+ (2.Kg3 Rh3#)
3.Kh2 Qf2# 3.Kg3 Qf2# 3.Kf3 Qf2#

A stampeding herd of elephants is heard from, sending shock waves across the board.

How about 1. Rf2+? if 1…Qxf2 2. Rh2+ will net the queen for 2 rooks.
