nice, but that's not mate in 5, that's mate in however-many-moves-it-took-to-get-you-to-that-position-plus-5.

still, nicely done.

I must be missing something.

Why not 5... Kg7 ?

i was hoping it was understood mate in 5 was from that point on...hanuman3 it was in a game so that was just a move missed by my opponent and you would have to ask him

I understood that it was mate in 5 from that point. That is the same nomenclature used in all chess puzzles. I just thought it was a forced mate.

Thanks though. Nice finish.

That graded 1841 person should be ashamed of himself. How can he not noticed? =) a lot of mistakes once again, and also Kg7 as some1 else previously pointed out.
