Perhaps we can also forgive Black for resigning here.
He has no choice but to capture the h4 Rook.
White then has no choice but to capture the new h4 Rook.
Black then has no choice but to capture the Queen finally leaving
White has no other option than to take the last Rook giving checkmate.

Well, if WHITE did in fact make the poor move Rh4, then we MUST assume as a player that they are incapable of delivering an effective mate, and we have NO CHOICE but to play on.
See, as Qg7 delivers the mate, white's skill is in QUESTION with Rh4. An excellent example of NEVER RESIGN!!!!
One of the sad facts about playing on when your lost, your opponent can
miss mates in one and still win.
Got another one - this time Bishops. (someone else want to try Knights)

Leaping Knights!!
Mad Rook is slightly better because it follows the theme of forcing moves.
White has to take the Black Knight it's forced.
Incredible how you both surrounded the Black King in near similiar patterns.
Of course you do realise SG is most likely going to appear with a
Rook Bishops and Knights solution.
