Hm. I'm pretty sure this is a legit puzzle :). I'd have to plug it in an engine to be sure, but very nice Cool. I think the "forget the knight" comment might be unnecessary though. You're up by like 15pts of material, who cares Wink?

In fact, in that game, white should have resigned on the 10th move.

The position arose in this 1-minute bullet game: http://www.chess.com/livechess/game.html?id=20220231

 

I added a few pawns to prevent spite checks. Engine analysis confirms the solution.

Lol, I plugged in the position to confirm, but forgot the board was flipped so it said the correct move was to play the h7 pawn to h8=Q# (from your diagram's point of view). I thought this was funny. Maybe not but w/e Sealed

Next time, just copy the FEN notation for the position. Also, note the numbers on the board. :)
