It seems to be open ended if black doesn't take queen, though
Bishop moves to g2 checkmate of it doesn't check the king.
If it does then the king walks back towards the rook. Until it takes it or the rook doesn't check the king ending the game
What about Rb2, Kd3, Pg2?
It gets all very messy if black doesn't take the bate it seems
In what position? After 1. Bc6 Rb1+ 2. Ke2 Rb2+ 3. Kd3 Black doesn't have anything but spite checks. And if ...g2, White can now safely go Qc1 with quick checkmate to follow via Qh6+ (since g2 is covered by the bishop).
What's interesting is if black moves to Rf4 and ignores the queen i see how it gets very open ended
