Mate in One

I have the following position (white to play) against the computer. It's mate in one and I am curious as to how would other people finish the game. Mate with bishop, mate with one of the rooks (which one and why), or mate by promotion to queen/rook? It would be interesting to see the thought process behind the choices of other players.

Personally, I would go for a mate in 3.

- gxf8=B Kh8

- Bhg7 Kg8

- Bxd5#

Not everyday you have two same-coloured bishops on the board.

That's an insane position though. nice stuff

Bxd5 was my first instinct, maybe because there was recent activity in that area

Nice! I noticed the rook mate first, so I would’ve played Rfxf8#
