As you probably already know, there is a tactic site that doesn't fail you for playing winning moves that are not the #1 engine pick, it will let you try again.
Yeah and the commentary is a lot better. I do prefer it.
I know I shouldn't ask but please don't let me fall into bad habits and explain your last two selves a bit more
#574 is annoying me, it doesn't seem particularly "solved." Seems like there is a checkmate lurking with the queen on the f2 square but of course I wouldn't be able to find it. Sometimes I just want to run a cutlass up the ruffle of a tactic and say ExplAin thyself, you Thespian.

I'm not sure who you're talking to. Me and scott? I'll tell you the site if you want, but I don't know who you're talking to.
Surely you’ve got the board wrong?

Hi all, if anyone is interested in joining a free ladder tournament where you can relax, have fun and meet new people, please click on the link below: https://www.chess.com/club/the-casual-chess-league 
Yeah there are loads.
Just show me a few. All tactics are checked by engines.
There is possibility of engine error when the engine analysis is too short, but it is extremely rare.
I don't remember the problem numbers, surprisingly.
I've literally reported dozens which have been shortened. Believe what you want, but the tactics on this site are a mess.
You can see on the comments for some, moderators have to manually shorten them:

This I believe is one but I can't repeat them as not premium:

Saw both, both are 100% correct. First one was 800 rated problem and people cant answer correctly, so the mods shorten the tactics, it is not problem fault.
Second one is also the same, it is 100% correct.
In tactics, if there is a mate in 6, and if you play mate in 7 or just take piece advantage , you are wrong.
The one that I saw in wrong tactic was rated about 2800 + in which their answer A (their Answer ) leads to + 5 material advantage ( e.g) and the answer B lead to + 3 material advantage . However in longer /deeper calculation that +3 material advantage become + 6 material advantage.
In your tactical rating, you are unlikely to get such complicated tactics.
You’re wrong, my tactics rating is low because I reset. Going to stop replying because you’re stubborn and your profile pic is creeping me out.
