Very interesting. But it is a little confusing. I thought Ra1 was pinned by Rh1 and hence no mate (after Kf2 in the first solution)

What is the difference between the pin after 3.Rh1 and the apparently similar pin 4.Rh1-f1 (after 3…Kf2+)?

4. Rf1? is not legal because of Rxf1[a8]-c8

Oh indeed, thanks Joost. So, that’s why the pin by 3.Rh8-e8 isn’t good, since a pin by 4.Re2/f8 would legally parry the check by 3…Kf2.
Still, the rules should mention explicitly the different effects of the standard ‘one-move’ check (as per chess rules) and of the ‘two-legal-moves-in-a-row’ check.
