Could you explain what Rac6# means, I’m a beginner, thanks!
It means the rook on the “a” file moves to c6 to checkmate. This is only added when two of the same piece are able to move to a square (in this case, the rook on the “d” file also could have moved to c6), so we need to specify which one made the move.

Mate in 2 1-R-Q6 2-K-B8 3-R-H8 MATE
What’s wrong with: Ra8. KxR Rc8#
The rule is “white’s pieces must make exactly one move each,” which means white’s king also must make a move before checkmate.
