Why are chess puzzles so frequently incorrect?

Giving check all the way to mate. 

Not buying.

Have you ever actually played a master repeatedly?  I have.  I played a 2206 newly minted NM master for hours on end in casual games (in 1986).  I lost every single game .  The best I could get out of him was "hmmm, novelty" in one game.  This was someone rated about 500-600 points higher than I at the time.  The chess champion of Indonesia would be *at least* an IM...are you Class A or Expert?  Then you would suffer the same.

Casual players do not "surprise" national champions.  You didn't have a good laugh about it.  He was a fraud, or you are.  Given this:

Psychophysiologist, Bible translator and flamenco music composer.

...I'm guessing it's you .

You can just use the analysis thing if you’re not sure. As was mentioned early on in the thread, more than 99% of the puzzles are watertight in terms of the solution. Whenever my idea turns out to be wrong, I always start by assuming it’s me that’s wrong and not the solution. Invariably, that’s the case.

You're meant to mate. Where would you go from here?

+1

Maybe put this under analysis? Also, I saw the puzzle and it stumped me too, (didn't try really hard tbh) but I didn't say it was "wrong," because it made sense to me. Yes it delays checkmate by one move I guess in a way, but when the next move from white is check, check, and forcing moves with checkmate soon, then it is irrelevent that black is threatening checkmate, when white can checkmate. 

Also what you said about attacking the person and not the arguement?

1: You claim the puzzle is wrong when we prove YOU wrong, and claim the have beat the Indonesian champion, when you yourself have played 0 games.

2: we already proved you wrong, but you won't accept our help.

Simply has to be a troll

Tell him you are the national champion of Australia 👍

The strongest Indonesian player by FIDE ranking is the fabulously named Susanto Megaranto, a 2550 GM. 

Why are we even “ falling” for this troll post

There is NO WAY he can’t see all of these arguements(unless he is too lazy to read them)

@tacticspptter no troll he is just too ego to accept he is wrong

you forget that puzzles designed to create dificulties of tactical positions

How can you tell he is not trolling?

ok maybe he is just dumb

Anyone who thinks the OP is a troll probably doesn't visit the Daily Puzzle threads much. Some time ago they would regularly use pretty advanced studies with counter-intuitive solutions. While many newbies would sensibly ask for an explanation of a solution they don't get, there are also plenty whose reactions are things like "stupid puzzle" and "nonsense". Quite often people would insist their answers are "better" than the official solutions. Classic cases of the Dunning-Kruger effect!

I am talking about the fact that he avoids questions,doesn’t read our messages,then just ignores everything we say

normally a noob would look at the comment to learn right?but he said he draw the chess champion of indonesia and then just ignore all the post that said IT IS CHECKMATE and then just continue to say that blocking the threat is the right move

 doesn’t this sound like troll to you?

I don't think he's a troll. From the looks of his profile, he's just an enthusiastic newcomer to the game, probably as a result of  watching "The Queen's Gambit." He's attempted five puzzles, and the ones  he failed are of such a blindingly obvious nature that it's clear he just doesn't see much on the board yet. With time, effort (and yes, a little humility) he'll probably be fine.

With the pandemic and Netflix-generated explosion of interest in chess, there are going to be a lot of new members who don't realize how much they don't know. Let's be patient with them. The future growth of chess lies in these newbies!

Eh, it would be prudent to not quickly judge a puzzle to be incorrect, and use some engine analysis, no matter what level you're on but yes we should all be patient.

Here is the consequence of moving black queen to h1 as blindly asserted earlier in this thread.

The engine in my chess program also made the blundering move of Qh1, which left me wondering if some chess puzzle developers also rely on engines for the "solution."

Not saying I could outplay SOS v5.1 in Arena but on my PC it also erroneously deemed a hanging piece could deliver an effective check and unwittingly set up white to deliver mate in the next move (assuming white is also playing to win). Nothing is perfect: occasionally even a mediocre football team will "upset" a top team, and occasionally a class B chess player may a win a game against a champion.

BTW, if seeking clarification is trolling then what shall we label those who have passed judgment on me without figuring out the real solution to this puzzle? If I misunderstood, I humbly apologize. I will gladly respond to any statements if proved incorrect in my understanding. Since my initial solution was incorrect, I am open to correction... but only correct correction. So far, nobody has shown a better one than black rook to b7, which arrests the imminent mate.
