Indeed, two moves of the rook are needed to force the black king into a losing move, and you want to end up in d1, so rook d1 cannot be the first move. This is brilliant stuff, great video, keep it up!
Easy. The black king must protect the pawn. After two moves of the rock, the black king is forced to give up the opposition to the white king and allow the white king to attack the pawn.
When you explain the initial setup, you have to mention who's turn it is to play and which direction pawns are moving as well as it totally changes the position
I do mention them at the start of the video and the thumbnail. But I think adding it to the space in the video on the right might be a good way to know it. Thanks for the suggestion.

So glad you liked the video!
I love this solution!! So elegant
You need to study Averbakh's "Rook Endings"
I will check it out. Thanks for the suggestion :)
It would be helpful if you mentioned the direction of movenent for the back pawn at the beginning of the video.
Thanks for the feedback! Appreciate it. I have been doing that from the videos after this.
Two more lines I'd like to see:
first: Rd1, Pd4; Re1 ck, ...
second: Rd2, Pd4; Rd1, Ke4; ...
It's a draw if black just holds off the white king
There is mistake in ur moves of black
Rook h4 is winning Rh4, d4, Kf7 you can figure out the rest.
Rh4 is a draw. Rh4 d4 Kf7 d3 and then white has to keep giving checks to the black king to prevent the pawn from queening.
hi
Rook 'triangulation'. ;)
Hahaha Yeah Rook triangulation Indeed 😁

Yes that indeed is the idea. Where the rook should move matters though.

I don't want to give away the solution and the video too much.

@@YourAverageChessPlayer You should include the file and rank notation on the board. Black pawns move from higher numbered ranks to lower numbered.
Stupid puzzle...
Rh4 wins
Rh4 is a draw in this position. Only Rd2 or Rd3 wins.
