    1. It’s is good to see a famaliar theme my friend! All squares along a diagonal are not create equal! Bh8! Kf5 Kg7 Ke5 Kg6++

  1. First move the top pawn, then black king will be move to down left corner .Now you move the top pwan to topmost box and get the queen. Now there is no chance to black king to move any box. So i.e. stale mate.

  2. For me the key was viewing the mate in 4. I admit to taking a while
    with this one….
