One I made, some feed back on its difficulty would be nice.  Mate in 7.

I would rank it medium-difficulty. Although it's a long mate, the moves are fairly intuitive. I stopped calculating upon finding a mate-in-8: 1. Rg8+ Bxg8 2. Rxg8+ Bf8 3. Bxd7+ Kd8 4. Rxf8+ Kc7 5. Qc4+ Kb7 6. Rxb8+ Kxb8 7. Qc8+ Ka7 8. Nc6#.

Trouble is there is more than one solution.

 

7. Na6 mate

or 6. ...   Ka7

7. Qa6 mate.

Its a nice puzzle, but it shows how difficult it is to get rid of the cooks.

Yeah I saw there was more then one solution for mate in 7, but it was the first move I was looking to trouble the solver for.  I was looking for a theme where the correct move looks like it hits a brick wall, after 2 bf8. To fool the solver into dismissing it.
