Actually, the way I set up the board, I want the task to be:
Black to move and win!

If so simply then why not post your answer rather than your usual dribble 😛

Set up positions properly or else post that crap in the General forum.

Sorry to those who didn't catch it the first time. But that is not a bad thing. It means that when you start the task, you already have ideas about the position and you can see possible counterplay.
No sorry to the rude z00t, of course. The position is set up properly. White pawns move up the bard like in most chess diagrams on this planet. Black to move and accumulate a huge advantage.

Bd4+ would be the only apparent starting move but easily dealt with by say Be3, Bxe3, Rxe3
It would result in a delay for white but by no means a killer blow

Congratulations on being the first one with an answer. The idea of a quick checkmate is quite appalling. But after 1. ...f4 White answers 2.Be3 and it doesn't work. Exchanging bishops when being a pawn down is not a good idea. After this move sequence black can only get a draw.

Hints:
In the solution the bad position of white's king plays a big role.
The first move is an "only" move.
All blacks pieces can join the action and white's defenders can't control all the important squares at once.

My vote is for bh3. It takes control of some squares around whites king and allows the black queen to join the fray. An example line

1...bh3
2. bg2 Qd1+
3. Kf2 bd4+
4. be3 bxe3+
5. rxe3 Qd2+ winning maybe nothing, I really have no idea.

z00t! z00t! You got off lightly considering you confused the hell out of everyone by saying White to move and win and then Actually, the way I set up the board, I want the task to be: Black to move and win!
