Daily puzzles

Whenever I do a daily puzzle, it never ends with a checkmate when it is suposed to.

Sometimes, if a daily puzzle continues all the way to checkmate, there will be multiple "correct" moves (this is called a "cook," and is not allowed in accurate puzzles) at the end, so they cut the sequence short in order to keep the solution unique. It's assumed that if you make the correct moves, you would easily know how to play the ending. 

yes, but one guy showed the answer to a problem, I was two moves short.

there's a starman waiting in the sky

he'd like to come and see us

but he thinks he'd blow our minds

hey static pawn what was that? I need an answer for my questions!

 I'm not sure what you mean by "two moves short."

it didnt let me do the last two moves

So a mate in 2 was left hanging...was there more than one way to do it, or would the correct moves have been forced? I'd like to see the actual puzzle.

its todays

it was David Bowie

i have no idea what your saying static pawn

Aha! After 2. Re8+ Rf8, White could checkmate with either 3.Rxf8# or 3.Qxf8#. One of these options would have to be "incorrect," and as I said before, that's a cooked solution.

oh my dad explained static pawn ha ha lol

yes, but it said "you have solved the problem!"

That's because after 1.Nxf6+ Rxf6 2.Re8+, you HAVE solved the problem. That's a combination where there are no other moves that work, but the puzzle ends there to prevent any alternates (there would be two possible checkmates after 2...Rf8). It's understood, though, that White has an easy mate next move, so the puzzle is "solved." Does that answer your question?

at least i solved it in a way, but other people did the last two moves, while i didnt

The people you say did the last two moves simply inserted a chess diagram and move sequence into their comments using Game Editor. In additon to the puzzle moves, they added the last two moves just to show White really had a forced win. You could have done the same thing if you'd posted a comment in that thread, but in the OP no further moves are allowed after Re8+.

oh thank you
