Nice one :)
Power alone won't work at all times.

I am willing to bet that those who cry about the stalemate rule, would absolutely abhor this puzzle...

Never mind, didn't see the above post.
Cute use of double checks..
This is a funny study of A. White, from 1919.
I saw it once in one of my chess books,Winning Chess: Tatics, by GM Yasser Seirawan.Who has this book might see the problem on page 178. However, I have a Brazilian edition, I don't know if the original is on the same page. It is the test 99, though, and I doubt it could be changed in translation.
Although being a quite long chekmate sequence, it is really easy, once you recognise the double check.

Yes, I have seen the problem in the book ' Tactics ' by International GM Yasser Seirawan. It is the test 99, in page 200 in the English edition. The study though funny,looks to be so interesting and hence I wanted to share the same with all our members. I noticed so many good studies in the same book and I will share the same to the maximum extent for the interst and for sharing with other members.

The stalemate rule has nothing to do with this, black just can't take the rook because it's double check and the rook is protected every time. Otherwise you'd take stalemate over losing.
Black is having so much of power, yet he can't do anything in this case.
Black king marches towards his end infront of all his powerful armies.
