Hi GP,
didn't get the problem, I had it so it was mate in 2 š, luckily I spotted the problem with my idea before I posted my alternate non-solution here...
In the note to the 12th move of the trap game you have 12. ... Kxd6 13. Qxc8+ it should be Qxf8+.
Caught slip. The format of Gag, trap, problem and study. seems popular.
I enjoy looking for a study that I know I can find something to link to an RHP
game. Some of these studies are Chess Poetry (I like that I'll use it again.)
So what is the en passant ruling? He has to take the pawn right?!
Here is a RHP game I came across looking through an opponents games: white manages to save a draw in a rook ending 3 pawns down. Don't know how to insert a PGN that starts in the middle of the game but the stalemate threats start around move 77. Game 13654152

You put [ fen "8/6R1/8/5p1r/4pk2/7p/5K2/8 w - - 0 76"] before the game moves you want to keep and delete the rest, click on the PGN button below to see what I did. The game you want to show from its 76th move is:
[Event "Open invite"] [Site "https://www.dailychess.com"] [Date "2020.03.08"] [EndDate "2020.03.24"] [Round "?"] [White "Cedrik Hee"] [Black "magicalmates"] [WhiteRating "1815"] [BlackRating "1780"] [WhiteElo "1815"] [BlackElo "1780"] [Result "1/2-1/2"] [GameId "13654152"] [fen "8/6R1/8/5p1r/4pk2/7p/5K2/8 w - - 0 76"] 76. Kf2g1 h2 77. Kg1h1 Kf4f3 78. Rg7h7 {If black takes the rook it's stalemate, this is a mad rook defence.} Kf3g4 79. Rh7g7 {White can't repeat as the black king no longer denies the white king the square g2.} Kg4f4 80. Rg7g3 {If Kxg3 it's still stalemate.} e3 81. Rg3f3 Kf4e4 82. Rf3f1 f4 {Black should leave this pawn alone.} 83. Rf1b1 f3 {Now the white king has no legal moves and the mad rook defence works, because black has to do one of move his king out of check, allow black to take both the e and f pawn which is a drawn position, or take the rook which is also a draw.} 84. Rb1b4 Ke4d3 85. Rb4d4 {85. Rb3 Kd2 86. Rxe3 f2 87. Rf4 also draws.} Kd3e2 86. Rd4d2 Ke2e1 87. Rd2d1 Ke1f2 88. Rd1f1 Kf2e2 89. Rf1f2 Ke2e1 90. Rf2f1 Ke1d2 91. Rf1d1 Kd2e2 92. Rd1e1 Ke2f2 93.

Note that I wrote the comments as I edited the pgn using the preview post feature and doing the analysis in my head, I haven't checked them with an engine, so if I got something wrong that's why.
There was a fight at the Chess Club last night.
