Dutch tombstone

We can only see the top of the board so are these the only pieces
involved?

Yes Andrew, the picture includes everything you need to find the
solution.

Does it help to know the black king is on C1?

mmmm Well I could certainly do it in two moves ..... but one????

EUREEEEEEEKA! Got it.... yes Marc it does help to know that the black
king is on c1.

Good puzzle!

there is no mate in one...there are only two moves which give CHECK:
Kd7+ and Rf7+ ...in either case the checked king can safely move to
f7 (capturing in the case of Rf7+)

thanks!! (I don't see why 'c1' is relevant)

'1' as in 'one' and not '8' as in 'eight'.

UncleAdam - yes you were right ... but not everyone saw your answer
so let's keep those that haven't guessing a while longer 🙂

😀 Very good puzzle!!! When I first look at it I thought that it was
impossible, but .... I found the mate after 10 minutes of hard
thinking!!! I will definetly put a chess puzzle on my tombstone!!!
