      It appears I’m an idiot too

      I’m very new to chess annotation and i keep using k for knight and king.

      I think it’s meant to be Ke1 G2 as Ne1 is an illegal move but that’s just a notation issue

      It seems to be open ended if black doesn’t take queen, though

        Bishop 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

            It gets all very messy if black doesn’t take the bate it seems

              In what position? After 1. Bc6 Rb1+ 2. Ke2 Rb2+ 3. Kd3 Black doesn’t have anything but spite checks. And if …g2, White can now safely go Qc1 with quick checkmate to follow via Qh6+ (since g2 is covered by the bishop).

        What’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.

        What happens if black declines the queen? Too lazy to calculate it out at this point

          Anything it seems. But I’m probably missing a lot

          No probs. Looks good. I’m a little wary of solutions that aren’t forced, but this seems the most reasonable I’ve seen so far.

      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
