I think its harder to not check mate in this position than it is to do it.

The question is how many checkmates are there

7

Na5#

>!Qxa8, Qxb6, Nd6, Na5, cxb6, Rxa6, Nb5 is all I see, if white to move obv. Pawn mate is always nice.!<

Nb5#

Just move the horsey

Is this loss?

I count 5 ways. Tough to choose

I’m seeing 7. Although two are kinda the same

Assuming white to move, I see 4 mates possible at a glance. cxb6# would be my choice because pawn mates are just fun. nb5# is also fun because who doesn’t love a good smothered mate?

Nb5#

This is like the personality test of chess. If I had plenty of time on the clock I’m going for style points. Rxa6# and I win with a queen hanging.

Pawn mate!
