I was asked to continue giving puzzles, so here is another one. Also share your answers in the chat!

This is a mate in 5 puzzle. This should be simpler, but good luck! (It's black to move)

That was easy, wasn't it?

Somewhat. I would say it was a 1700 rated puzzle.

I'm 2500 in puzzles. I enjoyed the last puzzle because it did not seem tactical at first. Positional puzzles are rarer and IMO more instructive and I felt your last puzzle was a bit of both.

Fun

Just the way I like it. Not so hard that I can't solve it, but not so easy I can do it without trouble.
