OK Richard,
I accept that I didn't get the book answer, but would you or someone on this 
list explain just what 
is wrong, what did I miss, in my solution? I am here to learn, please help me.
Alvin

Hi Alvin,

Sorry, but there is a solution that forces mate.  You are in the correct area.  
This is a long one 
as it is a forced mate in 5 moves.

Richard

  Best move for Black:
  1. ... Rh2 Rook protected from capture by Black Bishop on d6. Possibly 
followed by:
  2. f3 Qh4
  3. Rh2 Rh1#
