Not as hard as I expected!
When I saw 3.5 stars, I was expecting a really difficult puzzle. Perhaps I was just on the right wavelength for this one today.

Or perhaps, there could be someone such as kingdawar who could rate all the puzzles he's done, and the site use his star rating system so that there's a bit of uniformity in the rating system?

3.5 stars is hard not very difficult

Perhaps, under a normal rating system 3.5 stars is not so difficult. But here, where there are very few 4 star puzzles and almost no 5 star puzzles, it is.

I think I must have just been having a good day, because the solve rate is ~9% so far, suggesting that this is indeed a difficult puzzle.

This one is satisying when you bink.

Wow, I got this one quickly
I just wish when I click 'Analyze', it would take you back to where you left off instead of leaving you with another variation once you plug in the first move.

I think it's a brilliant solution; allowing a check on your own king adds a twist
