Awesome Mate in 6
Sort:
Wow!
It's mate in 5. Same for Komodo and StockFish.
It's also an example of people's unjustified reliance on engines. The engines on chess.com are misprogrammed especially around the first move. Therefore always verify engine predictions by navigating through the moves and look for the engine to change its mind! Here that happens on the first move!

Took me a full 10 minutes to solve this.
This variation works but it's a bit harder for white after black defends with 1. ... Bg5 forcing white to unique moves in order to achieve his objective in 5 moves!
I came across this really neat mate in 6 while playing against the computer. I found the first move in the game, but didn't see the rest of it but I had a feeling there was a win somewhere. Let's see if you can find it! There's only one move that is winning from the starting position. White to move.
