Is it not mate in 1 either way? King takes, Rook H8 is mate. Pawn takes, Rook takes Pawn is mate. Am I missing something?

Oop, you're right, no I missed that one rook entirely. Guess it is a "brilly" ๐Ÿ˜‚

Black bishop takes rook before it can take pawn or king though

Edit whoa I was looking at the wrong rook for the first one even though you specified it. I need weekend.
