In the initial position all black pieces - except Nd2- have a personal 'handler', who will punish any move made by his charge.
So task becomes: Provide the wayward knight a suitable handler .

Without doubt the most amusing variation arises, when the black king tries to step away - all his troops simply freeze...

Nice Enough

I liked the triple-pin after Kd6. Needed some thought , so 3 stars seemed about right.

Correction..

I wasn't counting - make that Quadruple pin after Kd6

Nice construct..

Took me a while to figure out the rook....and a black rook is the undoing as it allows white's Hermaj to intrude....neat layout..initially too many pieces but later you realise just enuff for an entertaining solve..
