We are playing a game. I am white and you are black.
My e-pawn have gone up to e8 and been promoted to a rook. My king has not been moved in the game, so in my next move I put my king on e3 and the rook on e2.
How do you responde ?

White plays e8=R. Black plays Kg2 (not forced):
[fen]4R3/8/8/3p4/2p3p1/1pP3Pp/1P4kP/R3K2R w - -[/fen]
White to move and mate in 1.
