Correction in the diagram: The previous move was Kh7-g6, not Kg7-g6.
Missed mate in 1 by two 1900s (Awesome Tactic)!
Sort:
this was NOT hard to spot AT ALL.
neither was this tactic awesome. nor are you 1900. this was absolutely de-instructive. and your "correction "made your post even more incorrect

Very nice.
Reminds me of Suba‘s story where the opponent shouted „check!“ on the verge of winning and Suba replied „counter-check!“ when the opponent and his chair broke down... As of this day he was the famous counter-check man in Romania.

Your opponent had 5 legal moves, of which 3 are completely ridiculous. Not that hard to analyse I’d say.
Still, it’s very rare to see a counter check with checkmate in an actual game.

I agree! If you're looking for alternate ideas, it's not hard to find the mate (It IS a mate in 1 after all!). It's a lot harder to find in a game when Kxf7 seems like such a forced move, and Nb4 is counterintuitive.
I have never seen a check blocked by a double check (and it's even a checkmate!) before.

It looks very nice. I guess if you change the colours of your chess set theme it might be easier to spot. : )

YOU ARE COMPLETELY WRONG.
I think it is a great little post to share.
Maybe it is the board/piece colours but I do not think it is overly obvious. In the context of playing a game easy to miss. Seems to me the other posters are seeing the board in the context of a puzzle.

Ignore Sadkid, he's just a troll.

Stop hating on him.
This is a famous (composed) mate in 3 moves chess problem.
In the main line 1.Rh4! Qf4! white plays 2.Kxb6!! and exposes himself to eight different checks, all of them countered by mate.
And I am not sure that 8 checks is a record...

Unbelievable problem Mr Frendza , these first two moves are something you reject in a second.
bleh, took me less than a sec to figure it out, thanks to Puzzle Rush.
This is quite interesting to see. i agree with @alexnode about the colour theme you use it is actually difficult looking at the chess pieces 
#17. @pfren. Wow! If black moves pawns, knights or queen then white has a mate move.
I just played a game, was in a winning position, then blundered mate in 1! Fortunately, it was actually a pretty hard to spot tactic, so we both missed it. I thought it would be instructive to show it here:
