Solution

Move the white bishop from f4 to d6 for checkmate.  The black king cannot move to e8 because the white queen is at h4.  The black queen at d4 cannot capture the white bishop because the black king would still be in check by the white rook at f1.

Mueve el alfil blanco de f4 a d6 para dar jaque mate. El rey negro no puede moverse a e8 porque la dama blanca está en h4. La dama negra en d4 no puede capturar el alfil blanco porque el rey negro todavía estaría en jaque por la torre blanca en f1.
