How is this a 2000 elo puzzle? I know a lot of people have been complaining about the new puzzle system, but this is absurd. I'm not the greatest at estimating elo, but I'm pretty sure 1000 elos can figure this out, probably not instantly, but I wouldn't know. Myself at 1000 elo would have been able to figure this out and it's designed for 2000. The only other tactic people can find is trading queens and forking the king and rook on f2, but even just double checking how surrounding the king is, you'll know that the king is surrounded. The targeted time is 4 seconds and the elo of this puzzle is 2000? If I'm given a true 2000 elo puzzle my puzzle time should not be targeted towards 4 seconds. I should not be able to figure it out in 4 seconds since I'm not 2000 elo.

It's not 2000 rated. All puzzles have been re-rated on the back end but the UI hasn't been updated to show the current rating being used for the selection algorithm or being used in the rating changes. It's actually around 1700 and that's probably because some members probably gut move Qxd1 to follow up with Nxf2+, even though that's not great.
