Mate in 2 with Only 6 Pieces – Robert Lincoln | MoveForge #28

Objective: White to move. Only 6 pieces remain on the board. Find the unique first move that forces checkmate in 2 moves.

Position and task condition

Only 6 pieces and an almost empty board. The position looks as if the solution should be obvious — but the key move is not a check. Can you find the move after which Black cannot avoid mate?
