Hi guys! I found this puzzle at chess.com: https://www.chess.com/puzzles/problem/1334257/practice. Now, I have a question. The answer says Rc7+ is the correct move, but Stockfish (and I, too) thought that d7+ is even better. Am I just a complete idiot or did they make a mistake when create the puzzle?
d7 doesn't work.
Your not an idiot but if you play out both ways, the pawn check is stronger.
This is what the analysis shows me... Am I doing something wrong?

Your engine is lying. In the variation it gives, after 31.Bxg5 Rxg5 wins for Black. However there are some dumb puzzles out there. I can think of (this one). On move 3, there are a multitude of winning moves. I just don't know how to report it though.
Thanks!
