Black's king on c7 has been checked by the White pawn on d6. The White pawn on d6 is protected by White's Knight on e4. However, White's Knight on e4 is pinned to the White King on e1, by the Black Rook on e8. Question is, can the King still capture the d6 pawn even though the Knight technically is not protecting the d6 pawn because of the pin?
No.
If White can't put his own King in check, then why should Black be allowed to do so?
First of all I love chess.com.. thanks to all who make this possible.
I have worked what my way up to around 1,000 playing the online computer but I'm having trouble learning from analysis at this point.
When I started, the analysis told me things that I needed to know and opportunities that I missed.
But now that I'm playing at a higher level, the recommendations have become pretty stupid.. lots of times it will recommend sacrificing a major piece including the queen with no gambit in sight.. for some reason it thinks that's a great move.
And same thing for the opponent... Often they will make mistakes but the analysis will say it's a great move immediately before the piece is taken.
However I know the game is capable of playing so so much better.. when I try to go above my current level, the online opponent Will do things that I'm not capable of.. coordinating multiple pieces to triangulate so that I have no moves or sacrificing to create complex opportunities.
In some ways I can learn from this by simply replaying the game and trying to understand what the computer opponent was thinking in the setup.
However I'd much prefer analysis that actually helps me learn how to do that instead of me having to guess what was happening.
So onto my question.. is this a common issue or am I setting the system up wrong or something on the user end?
Thanks in advance for any and all ideas!
If your analysis is at a low depth and the position is pretty complicated, the engine might make mistakes. If the position is complicated, it could also just be too complex for you to understand. So yeah, Chess.com gives you a choice to invest time or money. If i understood your question correctly: Yes, it’s normal that the engine doesn’t explain things to you anymore. But the analysis itself doesn’t change depending on your level - The higher the rating ladder, the more advanced (and maybe complicated) will the positions become.
Okay so I'm probably missing something.. is there way to increase the depth of analysis in chess.com?
All of a sudden, my bot games are being recorded and listed in my history. How do change that

Hello! Yes, it’s normal that your puzzle-rating is way higher than your other ratings. The balance between puzzle- and other ratings is not the same. Your puzzle rating decides the difficulty of the puzzles.
Also, with puzzles you KNOW in advance that a tactical solution is present.
So the only skill required is the ability to spot a tactical solution, if you know that one is there.
In a standard game, you need to (1) maneuver your forces into a winning position, then (2) assess the position and conclude that you are indeed winning, and that a tactical solution should be present in the position, and finally (3) spot the winning tactic.
A real game requires different skills - and a wider array of skills - than solving puzzles.
