Not tough. It's a simple two mover with spite checks to delay.

unusual

It seems tough, because it is counter-intuitive to allow your opponent to promote a pawn with check. There is a lot of variation in the number of moves in the solution. I suppose experienced chess puzzle-solvers frown on a puzzle that could be mate in 2 or 3 or 4, depending upon what spite checks, if any, are made.

I agree with draco too

The key moves are really easy to see but I also think we tend to resist to the fact that you'll let your opponent to promote.

That happens to me and make me take more time.
