Nope,B8's the White King which can only move one space in any 'free' direction.
Hint-start by moving the White Knight at H4.

Knight on h4 to f3
Queen on a1 to e5
was my first thought, but the king can move to c4.
Then I thought move the queen to d4 but the pawn can take the queen.
It seems like the queen is the way to win to stop the king from moving in so many options. I can do it in 3 but not 2.

h4 to f5 and a1 to d4
The Horse(Knight) traps it on the blues, the Queen blocks it on the bottom whites and the bishop blocks it on the top whites.

not really because one of the black pieces would of had to move and odds are it would have been the pawn. Even if it wasn't the King only has 2 choices, 1 of the blue. If they go to d6 then e5 works if they move the pawn d4.

Ya you are right on that. They would have had to move the pawn on their turn so the queen wouldn't be taken. I guess there are two answers depending if the pawn moves or the king moves.

You are wrong at 35 the king can go to c4 for safety
