101 ways to checkmate in this position, take your pic. And the knight on h8 makes it fully legal as well. Someone else posted a 105 ways to mate position, just can't remember it as easily as this one.
Hre it is- from the father of the Codex of chess composition.

Plug it into a chess program, wonder which checkmate it chooses and why LOL

There are SIX different Queens which can go to f6, and you still need to find 99 more mates.
i know it was posted 6 years ago but it's an en passant mate
This was a 2 second solve because it looks as if there's en passant. The people who said qf6 are dumb
i found the mate in one it is so easy i am a intermediateand 6th grade and i found it . It is enpassant cause the last move for black is e5 so dpawn takes e pawn#

how should we know if en passant is legal or not
At chess problems we always assume it is not possible, unless retro-analysis of the position proves the opposite.

Qf6#
The hardest mate in 1? Really?
Qf6+ is a mate in 4.
1. Qf6+ Kxh6 2. Qh4+ Kg7 3. Rbxf7+ Kh8 4. Qxh7
Best I can see is mate in 2.
1. Rfxf7+ Kh8 2. Rxh7#
(And @chiefonion changed his post after I started mine.)
Now I wonder what's the most number of black pieces that could be added to that position which don't interfere with any of the mates, and the position remains legal.
