There was this silly example of a puzzle one time I found in the newspaper, basicly, every square was filled with a white squared bishop and there were 7 pawns all blocked by the bishops, which of course couldn't move because they are all stuck on their white squares, and it asked you to find mate. Ohhhh, all the newbies who wasted time with that, good joke though... 🙄

After Ba3+, I thought I found it by simply moving the bishop, discovered checkmate with the rook, but alas, through "best" play, black can delay a move by suicide interposing with the knight and making it a mate in 3. So technicly, I don't think I found it unless I missed something in the calculation, although, after Ba3+, mate is pretty much soon guaranteed regardless.
