    That's the whole point of this. It tests to see if you are more of a problem solver or a chess player. I had seen it before and didn't get it then, and it still took me a couple of minutes to remember what it was today.
    Edit: You guys started it with the comments.

    No, but I'll keep trying. I can stalemate that king every time though.

    Was putting away pieces and realised hadn't actually solved 🙄. So that's an embarrassing "no" for me.

    I tried again for a second time, does that count?

    Yes - 0 seconds.

    Anyway, those who did it faster than me match Fritz's top answer...

    Hint: Throw legality out the window. You are playing some bizarre chess variant.
