There's a mate in 1. Also, White could've played 4 Qe4+ to far greater effect (plus he could just block the check with 7 Qg3).

did you not read? he said he wanted white to go first, so he played a useless black move so white can go first

Yes, we can read.  And when we read "checkmate in six," that usually means a forced mate (none here though).

well i couldn't set the board up with my king in check to start out so i had to move the king to get it how the game went. So there couldn't really be a mate in one in my game. (i dont understand what u mean by forced mate either.) lol sorry, I'm not familiar with that term.

It means that there will be checkmate in (at most) the given number of moves (in this case, six), regardless of the opponent's responses.
