It might not be famous, but it's a variation of the original problem at the least.
Hint to other solvers-What was Black's last move?
Nice Puzzle :)

incredible.
OK. One extra assignment for this one:
(a) white mates in 1
(b) take back white's last move such that you can checkmate in 1 instead

Enigmatic mate in 1 puzzles are always en passant 😁

thats incorrect. en passant is not possible, since that implies black's last move was b7-b5, which is impossible, since there is a light square bishop on a8.

You are right! You say this is mate in one? I don't see it!

There is something very important you have to realize...
Still don't see it... I remember a puzzles where the players had the board wrongly, and this doesn't seem the case.
I gave up and checked with the engine...no mate in 1. It has to be en passant...but again, you said this is not possible...

lol, the trick is that its impossible for it to be a m1 on white's turn (en passant is not legal), which means it must be black's turn.
(note the puzzle only says, white to mate in 1, it never specifies whose turn it is)
the solution is 1...b4 2.Qa6#

Ok, I took it too seriously about white to play. Although it would be not impossible, at all in a real game, with drunk players for example.
