Scandinavian, Bishop Takes f1, Folding Chair

I sat down again and played until the position was real. This is that second sitting.

Scandinavian. Black’s bishop takes f1. The folding chair starts to tip.

White castled. Black took the rook on f1. Was that free wood, or did the seat just get expensive?

Play both sides. Count what White gets for the exchange. Then find the mate that ends it.

Rxf7#. Name the miss that let the rook in. Keep going.

I wish you the best of luck!!
