Salut Seb, I think Kf2 prevents the Bb7+. Devel with check and forcing the K to move again and then Qxb2 (with c2 vulnerable) before B can protect it at c1. Mon éval

I just did a puzzle in the chesscom tactics (#1227031) and the solution was wrong. I played 2.Kf2 which is as good as Kf3 in my mind (and when I let the chesscom computer run after my Kf2 was still better than Kf3). I see absolutely no reason why Kf3 should be better (I spent some time analysing it without the computer aswell) so please fix this. I saw the puzzle was new aswell as the rating was pending so its probably a bug in your servers. Nonetheless, can this be fixed. I missed the puzzle and I know a lot of players will miss it if it continues. This was the puzzle:I played Ke3 (the right move) and after Re8 I played Kf3 which is slightly better than Kf2 the puzzle wants us to play. Atleast it wasnt a puzzle survival for me. And if theres a supergm that thinks Kf2 is bad for some reason I would be glad to know what the engine of chesscom is missing. Thank you for responding to me, I missed out on points because of the mistake
You don't lose rating for Pending puzzles, regardless of the outcome.
As to the solution, the engine probably didn't go very deep to see that either solution is good.
I'll report it but in the future you can use the information in the following to report bad puzzles like that.

oh ok thank you very much. Indeed I didnt lose points, but I also didnt get the true points I 'deserved' for getting it right
