White to move and mate in 9 moves (15 moves with best defence, not included in this puzzle). Stockfish doesn't see the solution unless left running for about a day.

Thanks! Did you manage to solve it?
Not really. I kind of just moved things around until I got it right.

Fair enough lol. Well, all you had to do was hang as many pieces as you could per move. By the time it's checkmate, you've sacrificed 5 pieces in 8 moves. So an average of 0.65 pieces per move are sacrificed before checkmate in this pizzle.
that's a lot of sacrifices
here is puzzle
only thing that makes it hard is that all the pieces are invisible

The German words ein and stein translate to one and stone, so using Einstein as a single word avoids unwanted aspersions.
Isaac Asimov used that word play to demonstrate how easily misled people could think the ancient Greeks foretold Einstein's theory of relativity. When Zeus was born his mother wrapped a stone as a baby because she knew his father would swallow him (like he did the other children), so one stone could refer to Zeus. Later Hephaestus (Vulcan in Roman mythology) was cast out of the heavens by Zeus. Fast forward to the 1800s and 1900s when people trying to fix the calculations of Mercury's orbit kept postulating a planet closer to the sun to explain it, and named that planet Vulcan. Then Einstein's theories showed that the energy of the Sun's gravitational field could act like additional mass and explain Mercury's orbit without needing another planet. Thus Einstein (one stone - think Zeus) cast Vulcan (Hephaestus) out of the heavens and the ancient Greeks "predicted" it.
Or it is just coincidence involving word play in multiple languages.

Thank you! Indeed, this is the puzzle that I'm most proud of. I have composed other puzzles which might be classified as more "creative", but nothing beats this one as far as sheer beauty, in my opinion.
