Gotham Chess has prepared me for this moment... sacrifice THE ROOOOOOK with Ra4. Queen takes. Rh3 check, King must move to the 4th rank because the white king blocks the 2nd rank. Rh4 check. King must move. Rxa4 wins the game. Edit: Lovely puzzle. I didn't even see the alternative lines you mentioned after Ra4. Crazy that it still wins no matter what.
1:34 felt like a "god move"
its actually so cool to see a chess puzzle with a simple but deadly solution!
Indeed!

Niiice!
Nice puzzle, but it took only about 3 seconds to figure it out because there is no way to save the attacked rook (so it has to be sacrificed).
I agree
Its so cool that the kings are important to blocking in both checkmates.
I totally agree🤯
My guess:
Ra4
Forces a skewer on queen if rook is taken, otherwise forces mate or queen sac to stop mate
Exactly!
Nice!
Superb❤
♥️♥️♥️
Ngl this puzzle is kinda easy
No its not, maybe you are a giga super pro max GM?
How if blackQ go to b7 or c6
There will be Rh3 check and he needs to block with the queen and lose
Ra4 best move.
Great job!!!
