The latest in a series of ridiculously rated problems I've come across

https://www.chess.com/puzzles/problem/596196

 

 

#596196 a simple pawn pin problem, 3 moves, rated 2215.

I have seen problems harder than this rated 1500 - 1600 or even less.

Tactics get rated based on the people that attempt them. Apparently a lot of higher rated people miss it; it has a less than 40% pass rate.

Black plays...Kg8.  What to play as white?

Crazy. 1/3 of people who see this puzzle don't get it right...
