To some extent, I agree with you.
Also, sometimes what frustrates me is that I may win the Q, for example...and would go on to win the game...but that is not the exact, perfect answer.
I could say more and already have elsewhere. Bottom line, though...I find it a very useful tool in striving to make better and faster moves.
Puzzling is a seperate discipline and possibly skill set to regular chess. I think there are actually puzzling world championships. They are not real chess though and puzzlers should be mocked by real chessplayers in the way only one nerd can look down on another. We should take their lunch money and throw sand in their faces. We should laugh at the lamentation of their women....
Is it just me or some of these chess puzzles seem a bit unrealistic?
Im not knocking chess.com but sometimes I feel like no way a rational player would do some of the exchanges and should reflect real examples from tournament chess.
I would like the input of others or its just me.
