1.Qxd5+ Bxd5 2.Rxd5+ and white is up a bishop
i thought of this very easy chess puzzle
#2 no, black is up by 2 pawns because white does not have a bishop. #4 is correct, because that wins a queen (because you take the queen with your rook and when he takes back with the bishop, you take the rook).
There is another solution: 1. Qe2+. After winning the queen, white also wins the bishop with a fork and the endgame is winning.
A good puzzle should have only one solution.

Qe2+ is a miss

Qe2+ is a miss
According to what?
Stockfish says that Qe2+ is +7.

Yes, the engine.
After thinking for a few more minutes, he says +23. Probably he'll announce mate.
That screenshot just shows how awful chess.com's Game review is.
First, it uses a super shallow analysis, thinking like 0.1 second.
Additionally, Qe2 is +3 even according to that super shallow analysis, so calling it a "miss" is insane.
Nobody should ever use Game review for anything. It's a disgrace how bad it is.
#6 at the end of the Qe2+ line, you have a queen against a rook. At the end of the Qh3+ line, you have a queen against the bishop.

It's true.
The first one is easier to win, no doubt about that.
However, the second one is winning too. And that's a problem, because a good puzzle should have only one solution.

yes, but if you do Qh3+ then you will have queen vs bishop but here you have queen vs rook
edit: somebody else already said this

... and it's irrelevant, because a good puzzle should have only one solution. Not two.

this position is very unlikely
white to move and win material
edit: stockfish got the same solution as I did
edit #2: i fixed the Qe2+ line
