A checkmate can sometimes take long and needs a few preparatory moves to be played. In this puzzle, Black cannot directly checkmate by just easily checking the king. Instead of that, you need to correctly develop a new piece and take control another time of a square that White cannot defend enough to survive to your checkmate attack!
We often say that you need at least 3 pieces to make a correct checkmate. This puzzle is the perfect example for this. Indeed, the one rook took already possession of the h-column and the second can come to control the g-column if your bishop would not stand on f8.... And your bishop is inactive. You need to put him on a better square!
