Here is a puzzle of mine. Well, actually I saw the basic idea somewhere, I think in a game, but that was some time ago, so I dare to say that I created a puzzle.

youre puzzles are fun to solve. its good practice solving easy mate problems. i really like your endgame puzzle, you should work more on these that have less obvious solutions. i like problems that do not start with a check or capture
