It took me about 4 mins to solve straight away. So I guess puzzle rating around 2400-2500.

I found the answer quickly... and I'm really not rated at very high level.

Logical moves for solving pb (check moves first) give the answer...

This is very hard indeed:

No solution, as the initial position is illegal.

- How did that pawn appear at h6?

- White's pawns have made 15 captures, so Black should have a lone king on the board.

You can also claim a few more reasons for the illegality of the position, but these two are very obvious- even a beginner can spot them..

uh not really since most beginners are actually dealing with real chess and not illegal puzzles positions
