White to move! Mate in 1
b8 then to queen, checkmate
That's not checkmate.
Dude, you are 1200+ rated, you should know what is and what isn't mate.
can you tell why it's not mate?
Because Nf6 or Qf6 can be played which blocks the check.
nvrm it's actually mate in two

I thought it said h8 so my coordinates are wrong. You are correct b8=Q is mate in two. The problem is to be solved as mate in one.

I believe that for every wrong check the black king has only one escape square, never 2. The puzzle is masterfully constructed.
I also think that it's bad manners by the OP to not mention the author of the puzzle.
