A mate-in-five that I composed. Pretty simple, but the fourth move is a bit tricky.

No, anybody can make chess puzzles - just click the chess board icon that appears at the top of the box where you enter a comment.

Yay!!! I finally got a puzzle first try! I must be getting better! ;)
The fourth move may be harder to see, but you really need to keep the king contained in order to checkmate... That move keeps him off the rest of the board. If you look at checkmates like that, seeing those gets much easier.
