easy section
this took me like 30 min to find it, and i have to use the analyze board to be sure

very good puzzle, but not easy at all

Not sure I'd find this mate in a blitz game.

Because Be2 prevents mate in 2.

Oddly Enough...
I looked at Nb1 several times, but didn't see the Rook move. Had I used the analyze board I might have got it quicker, but I try to do the easy puzzles without that and as it was I didn't register Ra3 until the hint told to look (yet again) at the knight.
My point, the move is both entirely natural and yet somehow unexpected. Nicely done.
