It’s 1.Bxf6. Threatens Qe5 mate and all the recaptures allow a different mate in one.

I so very agree with CM JamesColeman. But I think this is probably a troll post because xnp70 did not reply from our advice

I did try it, but the king can always escape. Might be a good idea to give up. This is most likely a troll post.

 

1.Bxf6 Bxf6 2.g7 is checkmate. What is it about that that you can't seem to grasp?

You were calling it a ‘troll post’ after you’d been given the solution twice - however I apologize for my choice of words.

It's a typical case where Black is in zugzwang (every move allows mate in one with Black to play), but white has no useful waiting move, either.

As mr. Coleman already said, 1.Bxf6 does the trick- Black can recapture the f6 bishop with 5 different pieces, but all recaptures allow mate in one.
