Tactics issue

Sort:
PLAYtoWINtheGAME

Puzzle 172171, i chose g3, where g2 was the correct answer. I ran it under an engine and my selected move was -12.66 compared to -12.71 for chess.com's answer. Seems a bit trivial to me. 

 

Anyone else disagree with some of the tactic answers sometimes?

That puzzle is at least five years old. Seems a bit unfair to run a modern engine on it and complain about a slightly different evaluation.

Besides, Kg3 was suggested and disposed of years ago in the comments to the problem.

old or new, so what. its not complicated. both moves get you to the same place. point is i was asking if others have questioned the answers to the tactics.

Couple of questions:

1. Are you playing chess engines, or people?

2. Are you seriously going to debate the difference between 12.66 and 12.71?

im not saying that. I'm saying that i think some of the tactics have more than 1 answer. and i was using the engine analysis just to confirm it.

Understood, but again, youre not playing an engine.  And some tactics are only looking for 1 winning move.

He is not a troll. In fact I would pay to know what he is.

Hes the latest incarnation of someone that opens an account, doesnt play chess, insults people.  That account gets closed, and he opens another one.  Wash, rinse, repeat.

If a tactic really has more than one equally good answer it should be reported and fixed or removed. v3 has a report link; would have to check v2 but I thought it did.

Calling someone a "troll" is still considered abuse by Chess.com, isn't it? I don't know the answer because the rules keep getting rewritten. At one time it was abuse, but now, I just don't know.

Lets be obvious about this.  Internet websites get trolled.  Trolling is as old as the internet.  If youre going to troll, then be prepared to be called out on it.  If you think that is abuse, that certainly is your right.

It's not whether I think it's abusive. It's whether the site thinks it's abusive. I don't see difference between calling someone a jerkwad, which is abuse, and calling someone a troll, which you think is okay to do.
