Is it possible for checkmate to be the only legal move?

The solutions with many many queens are another example of the laziness inherent in todays online chess players
#13 yeah thats where i got it from. idk why people are saying #10 is best, those ones with a bunch of queens arent very elegant
#7 all the checkmates are the same, and if Ne7 was recommended, you'd ask "why not Nf6?"
If you like that topic, you should look up 'selfmate' chess problems online.
That is a type of chess puzzle where you have to force the opponent to mate you (so the mate will always be the only legal move).
There is also a variety of interesting chess puzzle types (eg. helpmate).
