Alternate mate
1.H5 if Black moves his knight anywhere then Rf1-f4 for mate in 2
if Black doesn't move the knight it h5 captures

regardless of next move Rf1-f4 for mate in 3

"Alternate mate

>> 1.h5? with 2.Rf4+? is defended by 2...Nxf4 and there is no alternate mate. I could find the real key.

@ulmer_1 Look Again
When I move the pawn to h5 where will you go?

If you move knight to f4 then I capture with my rook for checkmate.

If you DON'T move the knight I capture it on my next move. My move after that will be rook to f4 for checkmate.

"@ulmer_1 Look Again"
>> I have looked again and the position has not changed,  .
"When I move the pawn to h5 where will you go?"
>> Several moves are possible, for example 1.h5? b4.
"If you move knight to f4 then I capture with my rook for checkmate."
>> Yes, that would be a checkmate, but I do not weakly move my knight there.
"If you DON'T move the knight I capture it on my next move. My move after that will be rook to f4 for checkmate."
>> 1.h5? b4 2.hxg6 Bc6! 3.Rf4+ Kc6 and no mate! As you can see, the bishop delivers a flight for his king.
