I’ve noticed that everyone who’s answered incorrectly or claimed that the puzzle is impossible has done one of three things:

1. Not noticing that the white queen is pinned to the white king.

2. Not noticing that there’s a black queen on d1 which can block multiple checks.

3. Assuming that since the white queen is pinned to the white king, it can’t move at all. It absolutely can.

Also for me, not realizing the black bishop is pinned by white rook

Good

I'm sure it's Queen to b7 :tup

Vivaan_545

It's Queen to b7. I've analysed it thoroughly and I'm pretty sure about the answer

Vivaan_545

If it's white to move, then it's Queen to B7. If it's black to move, then it's black bishop takes white Queen.

And both of them are wrong 😑

I'm wrong again¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I forgot the bishop is pinned by the rook

Bro, all you need to solve this puzzle is to understand what a pin, check, and block is in chess.

I looked at anylisis and there is no mate

On behalf of everyone who’s said the right answer, yes, there is a mate in 1. If there was no mate in 1, I wouldn’t have posted this forum. By the way, double-check the analysis, because when I did it, there clearly was a mate in 1.

Same. There is a mate in one.

Since black bishop is pinned by White's rook, it cannot capture White's queen. The 2 Knight next to the black king are defended by the 2 bishops and are attacking 2 more squares of the black King's square...
