Rook f2 to e2 mate by blocking the white check and white rook on e1.

12:42 Can you find the mate in one?
Answer: …+ Re2#. The Rook on the e file blocks the check to black King; and as it leaves f2,, opens the black dark Bishop to see along the g1-a7 diagonal and creates checkmate on g1 with the two black Rooks controling the white King's potential escape squares.

1…Re2#
Rook g3
Re2 is the only mate in one for Black here. Those who say moving that rook anywhere on the 2nd rank will work are not noticing that Black is in check! Any move by that rook other than Re2 is illegal.
12:49 move the rook at the top one spot to the right
Rxg3 checkmate another rook is protected by bishop.
Excellent. Thank you
Rook G3+
Puzzle: As the black king is in check, Re2 blocks the check and delivers CHECKMATE!

Moving the rook on f2 to any square to the left is a checkmate
Either Rg3 or Re2. I read comments, black is in check….
