An Interesting Puzzle...

Disclaimer: I have not made a forum in a long while, so I'm not sure if this is the right category.

My objective of this forum is to inquire about the solution of a puzzle that chess.com just gave me: https://www.chess.com/puzzles/problem/768796

My Stockfish 15 with NNUE and Syzygy Tablebases ran for 4 minutes and got to 25 depth, and thought that Bb1 was the best move, until I turned on MultiPV, when it found the best move, Bxc4. However, it still said that Bb1 is a viable choice, along with Kg1.

Here is the eval for each move:

Bxc4: +5.74

Bb1: +4.51

Kg1: +3.55

The fact that 3 moves give a significant advantage to White makes me wonder if this is a bad puzzle. I'm not very good at chess, so I would appreciate it if someone could explain if this is a bad puzzle, or if Bxc4 is just intuitively a better and more obvious move.

Thanks,

1a41-0.

Vielen Dank .

don´t understand why Bxc4 is good. I´d go h5

You are correct, there are multiple moves that win here, and also Qf4 wins, but the other 3 moves you listed are better than Qf4. h5 probably does not win however
