Today's daily chess puzzle literally put king in mate in 3 moves
Computer: NOOOOPE WE WANT YOU TO SACRAFICE A FEW PIECES TO GET THE KING IN MATE....I know you could easily do it with a queen on a rook but no thats too simple. Come on let's draw it out.... even tho the point of chess is to mate the king and it'sgame over if you do it your way.
Play other puzzles, see an easy mate... no no we want you to SACRAFICE a knight and bishop to win a rook and queen yes we know the point of chess is too put the opponents king in mate... BUT COME ON let's toy with him -18 points for not being fun!!!.... oh but when you analyze your games we'll say "you could have got mate sooner can you see it?"
These puzzles are a waste of time!
