2 Rooks vs Queen Endgame 2

Sort:
andrewjmen

This is 10 times easier than the previous one, but I like the key in this one:

Burzyn

Rh6+ methinks

andrewjmen

Rh6+ is not the right answer, I'm sorry.

Scottrf

Rh6 seems to draw, not win.

rooperi

Rg5?

Scottrf

Yeah was looking at Rg5 with probably Nf4 the reply but then couldn't see anything.

jakefusaro

Nf7?

Uns0undSacrifice

Why not Rh1...?  Threatening Kg5#.

Uns0undSacrifice

The Rook on g6 is protected by the knight, and if Qd8+, then Kg4+ and black is toast.  Rh1 is obviously the solution.

Uns0undSacrifice

My question is how did black get into such a spectacularly bad situation???  Haha.

It's not indeed. I spotted the possibility of the fork and haven't verified it. Rh1 looks promising.
