    that's weird, I've already posted the game in another forum.

    Luckily, my opponent missed this in a recent game. 

    He played 2... Nd5+, and I lived to fight on!

    (yes, white could throw his rooks away to add a few more moves, but it doesn't change the outcome.)

    If a puzzle is really good it will still be added. ;)

    After Rh2+, blacks best is Kg1. However, the puzzle must end after Rh2+.

    If you mean White playing Kg1, it can drag out longer, but it's still forced. 

    2. Kg1 Rg2+ 3. Kh1 Rxg4+ 4. Kh2 Rg2+ 5. Kh1 Ne2!  That threatens both ...Ng3# and Rh4#; White can't stop both.  I'll add this line to the diagram above.

    The puzzle would not have to end after Rh2+; the computer (white) could make any of the four legal moves and the human could still force a mate.

    It depends on who's approving the puzzle. If it were me I'd have to have a closer look as there are a few lines that have significant advantages for black without mate. Overall, however, a very neat combination. Well spotted :)

    Thanks, I wish I'd spotted it a little sooner.  :(  After I eventually lost, the chess.com computer analysis also concluded it was a forced mate in 8 after my blunder 1. Kf2.

    A few reasons :

    Time consuming (main reason) - reducing time I have to improve my game

    Proportion of ambiguous submissions still high.

    Saying 'no' to submissions wasn't getting any easier despite the guidelines.

    -ve Feedback eg.http://www.chess.com/tactics/server?id=403913 (more numerous than +ve feedback)

    Numerous complaints about :

    - lack of detailed analysis.

    - people losing rating points as a new problem gains points, with some people being 'hit' by several new problems in a session.

    Alternatives :

    - automation possible, ideally a simple click of a button from a position in a game with new problems able to be voted off if disliked.
