No "Report" button. But one would be nice.

I played 2...Kh8 which still leads to mate, but it said no.

You can leave this comment on the tactics problem itself, where it would be most relevant. In here, people have to go to the trouble to look it up.

From the looks of the problem, the goal isn't mate, but simplification. White sacrificed the Bishop, and Black has no reason not to take it. 2. ... Kh8 is not the best move.

From the analysis and source:

19. ...Kxh7

({12:-9.38} 19. ... Kxh7 20. Qc2+ Bg6 21. f4 Qxa1 22. Qxg6+ Kxg6 23. Rxa1 Rad8 24. cxd5 Rxd5 25. Kg2 Rfd8 26. Kf3 $19)
({12:-7.75} 19. ... Kh8 20. f4 Bxe2 21. fxe5 Bxf1 22. Rxf1 Kxh7 23. cxd5 Bxe5 24. Rc1 Bd6 25. Kg2 $19)

This is less than the recommended minimum delta of 250 centipawns, so a TT moderator should truncate the problem.
