AH, I get it now. @OrphanGenerator, it is actually a very amusing joke.
Is it possible to deliver checkmate in 1 move?

Wow, a totally different view on this. Superb. Totally agree in that sense.
That was brought up before. There at least a couple hundred possible ways to deliver checkmate in one. Here is an example for the OP.
This is not draw, this is win!

Let's say Ne8+ (foreigners: Se8+) you may have wondered what the + bit is.

If you wondered what the 'S' in e.g. Se8+ is, S means 'skoczek' which is the Polish for 'Knight (chess)'. If you are still curious, learn with a Polish coach (chess.com lessons)
In Soviet Russia, opponent checkmate YOU.
I Do not UNDERSTAND. Does that actually count as win in Russia?
When something has a purpose, it's a common joke to say that in Soviet Russia, that object does the thing to the user. An example would be "In capitalist America, you read books. In Soviet Russia, books read YOU!"
