In Lichess' openings database, this position has been reached over 150,000 times. Interestingly, in only 83 of those games did black play a3, a move that hangs mate in one: Qxf7#.
Despite the clear advantage for white after this blunder, it's surprising that only 95% of games that reach this position end up in a win for white. This begs the question: who are the 5% of players who not only blundered mate in one but went on to lose the game?

Dit zou mat in 1 voor wit moeten zijn maar ik zie het niet! 🤔 Wie wel?
This should be mate in one for white! I don’t see it. Anybody?

Got it!
It took me a long time to notice that clue, but I found it in the end.

There once was a player of chess
Whose skill was beyond all the rest
He saw just one move
And checkmate was proved
Now his opponents are all put to the test

Welke zet moet wit doen om de zwarte koning mat te zetten?
