    Nope.

    Ahhh I tried. I see the mates if the positions are reversed, but I'm just not getting it. Can someone PM me the answer? I can't see how white can check black (unblocked) and protect the f-pawn and G-rook at the same time. Likewise I tried to think outside the box..is "mates in 1" a wordplay or something? Nothing is coming.

    For kicks, try finding the mate in 1 with the sides reversed. It's a nice mating puzzle for a beginner.

    Yes. The proof is a bit subtle, though.

    If the sides are reversed, black's King is in check.
