There are two mates, Qb3 and Bh2.
Bh2 isn't mate in 1 because of Qd6.
If you find mate in 1, you’re a genius 🧠

Actually, as I look at it again, I was wrong.....Rxg8 should be mate. I did not notice that the Q was pinned by the rook.

Bh2 is not mate in 1, as the queen can block. It IS a mate, but not in 1 move.
Hello guys
Great puzzle. I tried several moves before finding Qb3#. Thanks for this, had me thinking for quite a while.
