Tactical Exercise 42867
I don't understand why White doesn't take the pawn with his rook?

1. Kg4 h5+
2. Rxh5

rather than his King in the solution

1. Kg4 h5+
2. Kxh5

Can anyone offer some light on this or is it an error?

I think after Rxh5 Rxf3 Kxf3 b3 that lowly pawn appears to be the matchwinner
