  Who can find the 2nd choice? I saw the 2nd choice first on tactics trainer, but since I am timed I went with it...and it was wrong. The red puzzle has the 2nd option.

But it all leads the same place doesn't it? I understand that the shorter ones are whats "right" but I don't think you should loose points because you found an alternative. Plus all of yours are checkmate the same way as mine, just longer. Basically you just move pieces more then what i said to get the mate.

I totally agree! I also moved the queen on the second move, just to be told that it was "incorrect". If it was a "mate in two"-puzzle, I would understand, but the tactics trainer should help you to develop your "real game"-tactics, and in a real game, the only thing that matters is winning, not if you do it in two or three moves.

What I'm saying is that my tactics score is going down because i found the "wrong" checkmate, I don't think it should go down as much as if i had done a queen for queen or something.

I know, But I'm just suggesting.
