Fastest Possible Epaulette Mate?

Couldn’t improve on that 7 moves.

lol

Maybe that’s the most elegant:

i know people look for the mate from the standard position in 960 it can be done ofcourse in 2 moves imagine a qb1 for white kf8 re8 rg8 Bh8 for black and just 1c4 f5 2Qxf5 this example takes a bit more moves but rd6 was fancy not many would take it tough

I think in this particular position mentioned Re8, Kf8, Tg8, Qb8 there must be a Knight either on h8 or d8 which can interfere. So no mate in 1.5 moves^^

nice trick @opperwezen

Not sure about this 1.5 moves, but 2 is possible:

This is purposefully done
