The rook is lost no matter what!

this shows that the rook is lost no matter what squares it moves to

uhhhhh.... ok

Sure

What is this.

its an endgame and no matter what square it moves to it is lost

What if it goes to f8 for instance.

Nice situation.

That is pretty cool I have to admit although I think you should have posted the more interesting variation(s).

The same is true for every other move, the rook is won in two or three moves from Kg3.

Thank you, it now makes sense.

From the OP, it was not clear if it was supposed to be 1 move, 6 moves or 100 moves!

Yes, the rook is lost and the game is most likely to be a draw (unless black walk into the checkmate)

Actually, after winning the pawn, White can force checkmate with bishop and knight.

Now granted, it's not simple or straightforward, but it can be done.

white can win the game but its hard
