Stop the spies!!!!!

Here's an endgame I made up. TRY TO STALEMATE! If there's any way to checkmate, let me know!

a very interesting puzzle. Not realistic but interesting to look at.Ihave looked at a checkmate. 7. Bf3+ Kf2  8. Rf1#

5. Be3 Kh3 (forced) 6. Rg1 stalemate is a little quicker

you are still burning up your mind setting up this kind of things. that's for your brain as lifting weight for your body :) still good.

 Apparently chess problems are chic right now. See, there is more than one way to enjoy a sausage.

how about 7. h3 Kxf2 8. Rh2#

good one PurplePuppy, shakje and Gert-Jan. Thanks!

I think 3...Qxd3 is black's best try where 4. bxc3 would result in stalemate.  So 4. Be3+ looks best for white which would prevent the stalemate.  Black does get two minor pieces for the queen that way.

But given that black responds with 3...Qxe7+ then white does have mate coming up.  :)  Maybe I am confused with this statement...

Are you saying that white is trying for stalemate and black is trying to avoid it?  :)  Is black trying to force white to checkmate?  Why does the statement ask if there were any checkmates if white is going for stalemate?  :)  After 3...Qxe7+ then 4. Nxe7 is stalemate.  :)  If white is going for checkmate then white can follow Gert-Jan's idea.  :)

if white is first then it checkmate

How about (although black would need to be greedy and take the bishop for this to work... if 1. ... Qxc2 or anything like that, it wouldn't work):

很有趣！this is chinese for: very interesting!
