Bet you guys won't be able to solve this one. Give you a hint. It's mate in 1.

 Congratulations - you have turned a chess game into one of sleight of hand

White can win, but will have to move the king away (K to d6) to allow the black king to move. White will then need to promote h7, h8=Q=mate

I checked the solution. Highly innovative. I warn you though: the stuffy old chess world may not be ready for this dynamite

I tried that move, but it wouldn't let me make it for some reason.
