Answer? [Probably the silliest move on the board.

1. Ra6 and white will get a discovery by the third move. Key lines are the white king following the black rook:

1...Re3+ 2. Kb6; 1...Rf3+ or 1...Rg2+ 2. Kc6; 1...Rg4+ or 1...Rh3+ 2. Kd7; 1...Rg5+ 2. Kd8.]

@Remellion: Yes, I believe that is correct.
