    Bc6 Rb2 Trying to mate on g2 and defending.

    I’m not sure where to go from there, either bg2+ or nf4+

    Either case I can’t find a forced mate in my head atleast

      Good start. You don’t have to calculate all the way to mate in that line, White gets an overwhelming advantage.

      But more interestingly: What do you do after Bc6 Rb1+?

          Does it work if black declines to take the queen?
