Once I saw there are no spite checks available I realised it’s about attacking the g8 square.

Yeah I meantlly played Rh7+ and obviously that doesn't work, so what else? It has to be the pawn.

90% of the game... is 80% mental.

No the game is 100% of the time half the time mental

Pretty simple, and I was disappointed that there are no variations - Black has no way to stop the threatened mate.

There it is

Just a lowly pawn move guards the escape.

There are 3 final move solutions. Why is only 1 permitted?

What are the other two, satyrhill?

3 solutions: (1) promote pawn (ii) advance rook to 8th rank, (iii) move rook 1 square to the right.

I see, thanks. The first two are possible, but dependant on Black co-operating. The solution is what happens no matter what Black’s response.
