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.
