Oops, I allowed 6 people. (@Arsyyyyyyy and @playdsmehra DM'd the solution.)

The answer is 1. Bxb6+ Ke7 2. Qc7+ Nd7 3. Qd8+ Kd6 4. Nf7#

I'd appreciate your sending me a direct message with the solution. It would mean a lot to me to have proof that you were able to solve the puzzle. You would also get the trophy only if you DM me. (This is the only exception.)

The others have to DM me.

Puzzle number 1: white is up a queen and a rook. After the obvious Nf7+, white is up a queen and two rooks. Every legal move wins.

A puzzle should have 1 solution. Only 1. This is an antipuzzle.

Puzzle no. 1 is a mate; it is not to find a fork.

I saw that some puzzles have many solutions.

Ex:https://www.chess.com/forum/view/game-analysis/if-you-find-mate-in-1-youre-a-genius

There is 1 mate-in-one, but at least 2 mates in 2.

If you'd said that the goal is mate in 4, that's OK, then the puzzle has only 1 solution. But you said nothing like that.
