And for the rk vs k bug, there is a M3+ (your line). For the correct line, it is 1 move LONGER. So, why does the shorter line not even score 'good move but there is better' ? And other ridiculous move…

Lichess Feedback - More puzzle bugs#4

So annoying. I did the correct line starting with Qh5+ instead of Rxd8 (M5+) and failed it losing 25 points, and the M5+ is certainly not 2120 difficulty. The line: 1... Qh5+ 2. Kg8 Qh7+ 3. Kf8 Qh8+ 4…

Rg2+ prolongs the mate from M7 to M9. Your line: 1... Rg2+ 2. Qd2 Rxd2 ...etc. (eventually Qa8 is played, but in the correct line it is played FIRST, to activate it immediately) Correct line: 1...Qa8 …

Replies: habatur ...within 5% = correct... within 10% = good move... I suggest evaluating the material puzzles at advantage more than 1 pawn (unless obvious) a good move but try again IF it also gains…
