Is Qxb3 checkmate for white in the given situation?

Analysis board says it's White to move, so 1. Rxc6+ wins.

 

And not to worry, this topic has been brought up multiple times - pinned pieces can still defend and support a friendly piece as is the case after 1...Qxb3.

what he's saying is that the analysis says it is White to move. Whenever you post the position, you need to change it in the setup.

If it’s black’s move it would be checkmate I think
