The first move is not that obvious, but very important. Nice puzzle.I liked it.

Cool!

This was a really nice puzzle!

2.5 Stars Difficulty
4 Stars Aesthetics! All three moves were clever, and all of the pieces except the king and pawns were used. Very nice!

glad to see it's not one star as it took me a bit of thinking

Material isn't even...

Aesthetics and clever moves are good for a puzzle but would be more realistic if material is at least close to equal. Granted, those pieces must be placed in such a way as to not interfere with the solution!

uneven material

pointless tbh, except for u to even things out(you seem to have fun doing it), as puzzles are not supposed to be realistic in terms of material and "likely positions". In fact puzzle are "better" from a composing view if all pieces on the board fullfill a role in the puzzle.

Loved it

I agree with fezzik - very elegant, though rather easy
