I am experiencing a bad Puzzle algorithm. The server started pushing several bad puzzles that make no sense to solve....
One example is the Kamikaze Queen sacrifices when the mate is imminent and there are more senseless sacrifices from the opponent in this bad puzzles. I feel like Chess.com is actually numbing me down with this non-sense puzzles.
So there is a way to report bad puzzles: https://support.chess.com/article/1223-how-do-i-report-a-bad-puzzle
However, my guess is that these are perfectly valid puzzles, but you are missing some point to them. Let's take a look at a similar puzzle thread that was questioned by someone roughly your level a long time ago. The response from the computer in a puzzle that looks crazy like a "Kamikaze Queen sacrifice" is a response often to delay an immediate checkmate threat or to prolong the checkmate (e.g. giving checks in order to transform a mate in 2 into a mate in 5).
In the example below, the puzzle responds by doing a queen "sacrifice" in order to prolong mate. But the point is, you have to understand that Black is busted and this is just prolonging the inevitable.
In general, if you don't understand a puzzle then look at it with an engine to see what is going wrong. And if then you still can't see the issue, then you can always post specific examples to these forums, and people will gladly help you! Actual bad puzzles do occur, but they are exceedingly rare.
I am experiencing a bad Puzzle algorithm. The server started pushing several bad puzzles that make no sense to solve. I started collecting good and bad puzzles. If the server keep using that o keep taking away my rating I will just leave the site. I am gathering the puzzles as proof so that everybody can see. Learning with bad puzzles only yields bad results when you play with actual people.
