6.Kc1 then what about Ba3#

@Islemgo It is a mate but this is how Fischer mated. There are many mates in this puzzle but I clearly mentioned in the title that this is how Fischer mated.

What a beautiful checkmate! Artistic I could say happy.png This is another proof among the many of  Robert James Fischer brilliancy.

That's not a mate, there is still Kb1, Rb2+ (Ka1, Rd2, *any move Rd1#) or (Kc1 Rc2+, Kb1 Rc1#).
So It's Ba3+, not Ba3#

In case you missed it  Kb1 is guarded by the black knight. You should make sure next time.

 

Also, I believe this game was taken from Fischer's game of the century? This mate is the least impressive part of the game.

Very nice puzzle @satviking1209 . We don't have to forget that from now on white is going to have a hard time stopping that two pawns tongue.png

@dinuldre IF WE PLACE THE KNIGHT ON C8 THIS WILL KILL ONE PAWN

There is no Kb1 available...

Don't forget that after the white knight captures the black queen, it is going to be the black turn to move, so with advancing the pawn from a7 to a6, the white knight to c8 is useless wink.png

Indeed after ... a6 ! as you note getting the knight to blockade looks rather difficult.
Advance both kings to the centre, white plays say Nc4 and black plays ... b5 --- tight.

Kb1 is illegal because of the Knight. So its Ba3# and not Ba3+

1... Rf2+ 2. Ke1 Bb4+ 3. Kd1 Bb3+ 4. Kc1 Ba3+ 5. Kb1 Rf1# is quicker.
I remember seeing the game in an article about Fischer back in the early 1970's
I always considered this game to be a wow!
