The solution the computer wants to this 1450 puzzle is to sacrifice your Queen, instead of taking with the Knight. Insanity. Maybe chess.com puzzle algo/generation needs some human Q&A??
thats because if you take the queen then it's stalemate .

A lot of people have already answered the guy. 2 and a half years ago.
i have not seen any of chess.com puzzles but i agree, they are probably stupid

Yeah now i see how dumb it is. Qf5 saccing the queen would lose on the spot.
I think around 3200-3300 it starts getting a bit weird. More calculation and evaluation with very little tactics.
Personally, untill 3000, like 90% of the puzzles are ok.

Wasn't there a puzzle where the entire gimmick was that you had to stop the 50-move rule from taking effect? That is dumb.
With a puzzle rating of 6893, I have authority to state that puzzles are fine, any puzzle can happen in a real game, since after 3 moves you hvae 121 millions possible moves. So everysequence is technically possible.

Agreed! Some of them have an easy solution but they show you the harder route.

Or maybe your "easy solution" just doesn't work.

OP: did you ever played real chess? I mean against real opponent. Playing against bots has nothing in common with chess. And if you’re 1400 in rapid and 2700 in puzzles so it’s quite obvious that you’re cheating in puzzles or you just can’t play chess.

What are you talking about? A 1300 point difference between rapid and puzzle score is quite common.
you edited your message but it only makes a little more sense
