It’s checkmate in one. I’d probably resign and move on to the next game.

yes, it's mate in 1 if you perform knishop fusion and combine horsey and bishop into a Queen on the white square next to the white king.

Just move King to the one open spot diagonal to Knight, and the move Queen to the spot King just left.

There is no queen in the picture

omg I thought the black king was a queen, and it looks like everyone else did too!

Zoom in on the pieces. You're seeing them wrong.

Oh my. You’re right. Sorry about that
