two move mate
i like it a lot!
nice!
interesting
fun and interesting
good one! [simple for me - 10 sec - but then i collect strange puzzles :) - my logic/illogic was: there is the sam loyd trick [pawns going up] :) so there must be underpromotions (0 secs) :) - to knights for symmetry's sake (0 secs) :) - working out details (10 secs) :)
Though Albillo's puzzle [I'm going to post next - i know because this is an update:)] is perhaps a wee bit more difficult - but i still feel ashiqmohammed's puzzle (the puzzle that started this thread) is much more beautiful !
Okay, so after you have solved ashiqmohammed's mate-in-2 problem, you should be ready for this one :)

two move two knight mate
Both of the mate problems are interesting. Never seen a mate with four knights. Should try that one next time.
