This puzzle has defeated Kasparov, Karpov and Botvinnik.

...and their students at the Botvinnik Chess School too! This puzzle was dubbed as the most difficult problem. Smile

Extract from OP:

 

A game begins with 1.e4 and ends in the fifth move with knight takes rook mate

 

Nice work though.

 

 

p.s.I've a real stinker for "The Christmas Puzzle, Part Three". Laughing
