::: spoiler Do you believe in life after love? This feels like a mate Cher would make... Bishop to A6, Queen to B5 :::

Bb4
Now what?

Huh... that's funny - the link above with the puzzle didn't consider that move. Insists Pawn to D3 is black's response to the first move, marked it as solved on Queen to B5.
I think you broke its brain. Congrats!

Bishop to D8 gets checkmate in the alternative scenario.

Nope. Knight to c7 blocks the bishop and keeps it from being a 2 move checkmate.

The knight is pinned

Rook on the right pins the knight if you move the bisshop on the right.
That bishop and rook on the right is basically a band-aid to make the puzzle work.

Nice - solved it better than the chess puzzle provided.
