Sometimes there are strange puzzles like this that are actually relatively easy but only seem hard because you are looking for mating combinations instead of just winning material:

I saw the combination of winning material pretty quickly with Rxd1+ followed by Qf2 yet it took me long to solve this puzzle because I thought there was supposed to be a mate.
This puzzle is 2218 but would be rated below 2000 if people knew there was no mate IMO.
