stipulation was to enforce happiness. A checkmate like that pleases nobody 😉

Woohoo. I beat the stipulation by 5 moves.

I'm not pleased. You've not enforced happiness on me. And if you search yourself, I'm sure you'll agree that the mate in one is shallow and uninspiring. It depresses rather than enforces happiness.

It's rubbish, it's crowded and seedy and you've willingly become happy, enforcement played no part in your answer.

Let's not get too philosophical here and accept that the checkmate isn't the answer.

After spending a good chunk of time on this, I got frustrated and fed the problem to an engine. With a stipulation of Selfmate in 6, there's no solution. Please check the diagram + stip.

It's not a selfmate either. That would leave the opponent perplexed, not happy 😀
