|| Bh8 ||
|| f7 is pinned. Qg7 is imminent. Black can only delay matters by offering a queen. Qf6 Qxf6, Qg5 Nxg5. Looks like white mates in 3 ||

Do enough compositions and this sort of idea becomes second-nature. (Who says that compositions are useless?)

I wish there was an easy way to search for stuff like this (in lichess games). Pretty sure Bh8/1 is something I have done several times on lichess. This IS a useful thing to have in the back of the head
