Yeah you've got the right idea, it's a knight frenzy. Very much brute force, so it's far from a great puzzle, but the knight party is awesome.

1. e8=N+ Kxh7 (...Kf7 2. Ne5+ Ke7 3. d8=Q#)
2. Nef6+ Kg7
3. Ne6+ Kf7
4. d8=N+ Ke7
5. c8=N#

Heh yeah looked like it's gonna be something silly like that, nice.

On a completely different note, I've been trying to use premoves as much as I can early on, since chess.com now supports them (called conditional moves). The point being I think it might throw some people off and make them try something suboptimal when I'm anticipating their opening moves. It probably doesn't, but hey can't hurt right.
