Rh1 was the correct start. After that think very carefully...You have to lift the stalemate after 2 moves, but where to lift it...

Mate in five...
1.Rh1 d4
2.Re1 d3
3.b4! axb4
4.Bxb4 Kxf6
5.Bc3#

Better check the startposition....

I checked the starting position 5 times.

EDIT, there is a black pawn on b4 (And I included that when I posted the position)

Yes I noticed... I meant *I* needed to check the starting position...

Just to recap:
- white checkmates in 6 moves.
- Black only makes forced moves, i.e. has no choices
- Rh1 is the start.

I don't see it.

1.Rh1 d4
2.Ra1 d3
3.Ra3! bxa3+
4.Ka1 a2
5.Ba3 Kxf6
6.Bb2#

Same Idea.. A-file instead of B-file?

Sad to say I dont.. Where do you guys find yours?

I got mine off of chessmaster, but there are probably some good sites online. Mephisto, do you have any?

Well if Rd6 worked black has several lines to play but can only make it worse for himself, ie mate in four, otherwise mate in 6 whatever he does. But maybe I have the start position wrong.
