a problem is wrong in this case, there should not be 2 variations

Chessguy2

If you can find a reason gabs2009's solution does not work I will give you the points. I will give you 1 point though.

GlennB: 9 points

synko: 8 points

gabs2009: 2 points

ShiViChess: 1 point

GlennB

i dont care bout the points, just saying that we busted the puzzle, it isnt sposed to have 2 answers

Chessguy2

so what do you think we should do???

gabs2009

I thought your idea was good! 2 points for me because I post my good anwser first, and GlennB gets 1 point because he still got a good anwser and he posted 2nd

Why can't there be 2 ways of solving the puzzle, I've seen puzzles with more then 1 anwser...

GlennB

if you did then it was a longer puzzle where the variations split later. puzzles are only supposed to have 1 move that solves it from the starting position, so tehre is technically "1 solution" (w/e the first move is) no matter if it breaks off into diff variations later
