So we have some issues with our challenger. Remember, show your support for the one you like best and it may get featured next week! Oh, and one more thing, if a puzzle wins by vote for 3 weeks in a row, it will get removed. Please give others a shot!

There were faster ways to mate, true, but the real puzzle was the first move by the King. I liked the puzzle. For future reference, stop the puzzle after the Queening, in puzzles like that as everyone should know how to win with that overwhelming piece advantage, and it stops people from criticising the many possibilities that follow the Queening.

Good advice. Maybe next similar puzzle I'll stop there. But be aware, those types may be two easy and infamous.
