I couldn't solve it whatever I did

@ifoody 7...Qe4 is a bust.
Yea just messed up the ranks there, i solved it at after-noon and now 11:45PM here, i put it here wrong.
Here's one way:
the only and the biggest problem is ka5 and not a4......in post no 10.....what if kc4??

finally and convincingly solved by MichaelPorcelli, #27
Thanks, it is a good practice one

Here's one way:
think this may not work if on being checked blacks K moves diagonally towards f8, white runs out of checks?

Hmm, I believe I thought of this in the parenthesised bit where the king moves instead of promoting his pawns. If the checks cannot be continued and Black's king threatens one or both rooks, the rooks should move on the opposite side of the board and the game will still be won. I may be misunderstanding what you mean, though, and I confess that other posters in here have a better idea of checkmating in this situation.
