Hey dirk-1966,
And you think correctly! Nice job!
Can you elaborate on what would ensue?

Is it black's turn or white but if it's black ten i think Bd6 because then the Rook would check
Fellow Puzzle Solvers,
We had an amazingly fast solution of the problem proposed within minutes of my posting it, and that person gets the KUDOS. One other puzzle solver also gets KUDOS for coming up with the solution soon after.
54. h5?? is manifestly a losing blunder. Black simply punctures White with 54. … Rxe3+!and White can just resign since after 55. Kxe3 Re1+ or 55. fxe3 Rf1+ Black uses the thematic R check to promote the a-P. Simplest for White instead is 54. Kg2 on the principle that the White K on g2 or h2 cannot be checked advantageously by the Black R on a1 to promote a P on a2. 54. Ke2 and 54. Ke4 are also suitable alternatives.
KUDOSto my man King_Zakadion who blasted this problem practically immediately. Its_only_me in another Group also gets Kudos for his excellent full explanation of the principle behind the solution.
Chess Lesson Problem #23 was a pleasingly quick victory against a challenging opponent for me, despite his lower rating. In this problem, there are obvious discovered checks for Black. Is he ready to play one at once, or does he have to set up the winning one first?
Happy solving!
