I believe you have too many tasks to handle here. You must prevent me from checking your king, from attacking your rook, you must defend g8 with your rook _and_ bishop, and you must prevent me from taking on h7. Three pieces don't (to me) seem up to the task when one of the pieces is the king. Did I miss something???
