😠 Perhaps you should give the real stip before someone enforces a brick through your monitor.

😉 now now, it's only a chess problem. Try "white to play and force a smile in 6" for an easier stip.

Will it make everyone smile? If the solution wont make me smile, does that mean your solution is wrong then?

Anyhow, what about this: 1. Qc2 bxa6 2. Rxa6 Kf4 3. Qxe4+ Kg3 4. Qe5+ Kg2 5. Qh2+ Kf1 6. Kd1 (stalemate by a king-move. does that enforce a smile?)

It has to, with readily replicable results, enforce a smile every single time it is played. In any chess club it would enforce a smile, among any non-chess playing community it would force a smile, with the same person 100 times it would force a smile every single time 😉

This didnt enforce happiness to me. I dont get it and I'm disappointed now 😛
Why does only White move? How is this enforcing happiness? Do you mean 5. Qa4? Questions, questions....

Oh yes sorry, I do mean Qa4+. And all black's replies are forced, so I only gave white moves, to emphasise how the end result is a force. And play it out on the board, it's happy 🙂
