Bc2

After Bc2, black can take by Rxc2 and no mate possible.

Good Puzzle!

Took me a while to work this one out but worth the effort and I agree with matidor, the double rook sac is indeed cool, even beautiful.

Why doesn't it work--or does it work

to sacrifice either rook first, and then the other?
