It's a brilliant move. Black will lose no matter what
That King needs a snack first though.
No, the pawn does.
Is it not mate in 1 either way? King takes, Rook H8 is mate. Pawn takes, Rook takes Pawn is mate. Am I missing something?
Black bishop takes rook before it can take pawn or king though
Edit whoa I was looking at the wrong rook for the first one even though you specified it. I need weekend.
RxF7
I don't know what buying a new graphics card will do for them
Rook takes pawn (on F7). Checkmate, white wins.
I think you mean G6, which is attacked by the pawn on H5.
Firstly, the king can't make it there from where it currently is, and secondly, if the white rook is on F7, then F6 is still in danger.
