    pawn to g7

    If the black king goes and captures my rook I can capture theirs an get a queen.

    If the black king moves their rook to safety, I can move mine back too, saving it. The pawn and bishop are mutually protecting each other, so no need to worry about king capturing them. Don't know where to go from here.

    If the black king decides to move his pawn up to f6 well... free rook I guess? I'll just capture his rook with my pawn at g7 and upgrade to queen, he will then be forced to capture her, leaving the black king at f8, his pawn at f6 and my two pieces safe. Though I'm not sure it is possible to do a check-mate with just your king, a rook and a bishop.

    It's possible to checkmate with K + R only, so that would be a yes.

    Don't know where to go from here.

    There's your problem: how would you go about winning that position?

    Bishop takes pawn. March the king up to 6 and use it and the bishop to protect the rook as you force black into the corner.

    The bishop can't take the pawn as it's stuck in the corner. I guess you mean the rook.

    In any case, assuming Black loses the pawn, how do you force the king away from g8 if Black's rook stays on the 8th rank?

    Black to move rook to IDGAF,

    Bf7

    The only valid move for Black is to move their rook, at which point you can play Rh8#

    Edit: wait nope I'm just dumb, the black pawn can take the white pawn

  • Pawn to f7. Rook takes pawn. Queen takes rook for checkmate.
