Why give black the move, though? Black already can move the Bishop, so what’s stopping White from just moving the rook anywhere else along the file so Black has to move the Bishop away, thereby enabling the Rook to capture on h7 with checkmate?
The problem is that he can push his pawn to h6 and there is no mate in the next move , but the problem requiers you to find a mate in 2. I hope this helps.
Dude, i never like or comment videos up here. But you do exaclty what i was looking for in videos on this topic, straight to the solution in a pretty short video. In the future, maybe try also showing why the move that seems the best at first glimpse is wrong (as for example here g6xh7) Cheer
Thank you Šimun Dumančić,

Rh6, black have to play pawn h6 or use bishop, white play pawn g6 if rook is taken or Rh7 if bishop is used.
Edit: I definally stop video at 2s ^^

Black can move the h pawn then?
They can push the h pawn to h6. The rook moving to h6 prevents the opponent from locking down the position.
Black can just move the H pawn then

Well now I feel dumb - thanks guys!
