That's what I would have thought, leaves the King nowhere to go and there's nothing to block/capture the Queen.

It seems to be open ended if black doesn't take queen, though
2 0 ReplyBishop moves to g2 checkmate of it doesn't check the king.
If it does then the king walks back towards the rook. Until it takes it or the rook doesn't check the king ending the game
2 0 ReplyWhat's interesting is if black moves to Rf4 and ignores the queen i see how it gets very open ended

Nicely done! You solved the main (study) line. There's other lines where Black actually holds out longer, but they're much simpler to calculate.
2 0 ReplyWhat happens if black declines the queen? Too lazy to calculate it out at this point

After 4. Nf4+, wouldn't it be better for the king to go to f3? Or am I overlooking something obvious
Edit: answered my own question, white king covers f3 after moving to e2, forgot about that

Rb1 checking king
Kd2
Rb2 checking King

Rook must leave or be taken. Anywhere doesnt matter.

Does it involve Ke2, Pg2, Qe1? Ending with Qc1, Qh6
Edit nvm I'm dumb
2 0 ReplyUnfortunately no. After 1. Ke2 g2 2. Qe1 Black has a simple way to win the queen, and after 2. Qc1 Black can at at the very least promote the pawn and there will never be a checkmate for White.
