If you find mate in 1, you’re a genius 🧠
Sort:
Qb3# first try
Rxg8..does it right?
Qb3# cus the black bishop is pinned and cannot take the queen

Ha....this is funny. I've made two wrong conclusions. First time, I missed seeing that the Q was pinned by the Bishop. The second time, I just did not notice that the Black Queen could block the Rook's check by moving to D8. Everyone is talking about QB3, but they ignore the fact that Black would just kill the Queen with the Black Bishop.
NC6 looks good for a M1....but, I've gotten it wrong twice.
If you do Nc6 the bishop on h1 will stop defending the knight on a8, and for that, the black king could BOTH go to a8, taking the knight, or c8, where no one is defending.
