Yeah, I was trying to send a chess puzzle to someone on Gameknot.com. White to mate in 1--except there was no black king. (The objective was to mate anyway--find the move that would mate the black king no matter where it was.) Their encoder created the king.

Do you perhaps mean that there was no white king?
No black king--in other words, you don't know where the black king is since it must exist. The puzzle was to find the move that would mate the king no matter what square it was in.
