But what if it isn't Black to move?
How about this one? Black to play and win:
All I see is Qxf6+ and whatever he takes with it is a stalemate

If Qg4xg3 then hxg3 and it's mate in 9 (I think; you have to be very careful of stalemate!). By the way, I put this into Houdini to see if there was a forced stalemate (when the last black P checks and has to be taken) and got the message: "Houdini is not functioning any more. We are looking for a solution to the problem." Loool!! I had to restart the programme ...
Wow Ben but do you think that white has a quicker checkmate?

Unfortunately in the afil puzzle there was no way the bishop could have gotten to d4 if it was a real chaturanga game. The bishop was promoted!
Pawn b8 = black knight, easy.
So what's the answer for #44?
Mate in 1 for the puzzle is impossible. Only mate in 2 as seen below.
This shows the blocked moves for the opponent's king.

b8=Q# and b8=B#. The first one is actually impossible. I think.
Pawn is pinned
