No. That gives White an escape square.

There's two lol. Bh5 and g1=N both work.

I agree with ItsTwoDuece. If you accidentally flipped the board or something while you were making this puzzle, then it would just be Bh5#

It wouldn't be for 2 reasons:

- the move would be Ba4+, not Bh5+

- it wouldn't be mate, because black pawns would be moving upwards, the king could go to e6 (d3 in the original)

It's black to move, by the way.

I'm just pointing out, there;s a white pawn on c6.

Two very easy solutions (g1=N/Bh5), worthless puzzle.

Move on.

Bh5?

Oh I checked the analysis like @ItsTwoDuece said there is Bh5# and g1=N.

Let me point this out: Nf3 and Nh3 both result in stalemate.

I read comments and solved it

No it doesn't, White still has a rook, a pawn and a bishop to move.

Oh yeah.

Everyone has superhuman caps if they can find mate in 1 but can we find mate in 20?

aidentse

wait are black pawns moving up or down the board cuz if they are moving down the board Bh5# and g1=N# is mate in one but if the blacks pawns are moving there is no mate in 1

Winning Move:
1... g1=horse#

Black promotes the pawn on g2 to a horse. (go to g1- Horse)

White's king on e2 has no escape squares.

It's checkmate!
