The COFFIN puzzle. (Chess)

The coffin chess puzzle.

Can you see the check mate.
Pawns move this way.

This is one of my all time favorite puzzles, because black is forced to shut the lid on his own coffin, in a delicious flair of morbid irony.

The first move is a graceful royal step. Followed by this absurd looking rook sacrifice on h6, disposing of our greatest asset, the active rook.
But it's a gift that can't be refused, and when the pawn takes, the lid crashes down, and blacks king is inside. The end is fast, black has no time to breathe… check, move, check, move, check, now by the femme fatale. And checkmate.

pawn to g6 (white), king to h8 (black), and rook to d8 (white) is mate and faster.

I saw all of these i feel so proud of myself

[fenicemaster]

Just push the pawn up 1 space to check the king and put it upper then use the rook to checkmate, no need to sac a piece

[imfullofsandwichesandimcom]

Checkmate can be delayed

I think king f7, pawn g6, rook d8 and check mate

[miningfordiamonds]

had a different variant in mind, king f7, black's rook g4, rook g7, king h8 forced, rook g8, king h7, pawn g5-g6 king h6 is checkmate, or black's rook sacrifices for a pawn which eventually leads to checkmate. i see it's worse now but it definetly annoys the opponent more
