Mate in 4

Very nice puzzle, please remember to include coordinates as it makes it a little bit easier to visualize in which direction the pieces are moving. Thanks for the puzzle!

well I would assume you look from the position of the side playing first

I would assume you look from the first player, too, but I've seen puzzles where that's not true.  That's why we appreciate the coordinates.

cool, interestingly, i think you can also mate in 4 by:

1.rXg2

2.a4 (forced), rxg4

3.kh2 (forced), kf2

4.a5 (or Kxh8), rxh4
