    Black to move. Bishop takes knight. Checkmate. What am I missing here?

    E: oh it was white to move. The triple fork doesn’t matter. White should move the rook across to below the bishop.

        Sorry I don’t get the UI. Did white just move the knight? Or is it whites move?

          White just moved the knight, black to play

            Well yeah, that’s mate in one.

            I’m wondering why white would move the knight like that for the triple fork. I was thinking white would move the rook. Still white is in bad shape here.

              It’s not mate in one, it’s mate in two. White can block the bishop with the D pawn.

              Kc5+ - Bxc5+
              d4 - Bxd4#

                Oh yes, of course. You are right. The pawn buys one extra move.

          So mate in two. Not in one.
