No matter what was played in some game, to make a good problem you need to give Black's best moves (28...c5). Against best defense, it's not a mate in 8 problem, although you called it that (and gave a mate in 7 in your solution).

The moves of white were suggested by a 2500 rated computer.

The moves from black were the real moves played.

I tried to keep as original as possible, but you are correct, this is not a perfect puzzle.

You nearly always need to do some work on an actual game line to turn it into a good puzzle. That way you can avoid being a contributor to the large number of sloppy puzzles that show up here.
