Another mating possibility for those who dislike mate by knights only

For this moment I host the team lichess.org/team/mate-by-knights-only

And now I found that may be not all the players like the style. So I think I should invent an alternative.

I have heard that in middle ages or in the East there was such a tradition to say: "Please tell me in what square you want to be mated".

That is, my opponent tells me the square (say, c5) and I shall mate in that way that his (her) king will be at c5 at the moment of mate.

Of course, this style is intended to be used when I have several pawns to promote and the opponent refuses to resign.

Please discuss.
