but i think white could play 3. Qg5
Can't you block with the rook? or am I missing something?
But there’s one that looks a lot better
Do you check with the e-pawn first, and then take the pawn?
Nope
The white rook on f5 can only move with check or to defend the g pawn until either white's queen or other rook has moved, otherwise it's forced mate.
Not quite
Almost
wait, let me put this in a pgn
I had seen d4 would open up the a8-h1 diagonal, but completely missed putting the queen there first to threaten a discovered check lol.
Not quite
