no way to feedback if the puzzle is bad

Hi, there are some puzzles which I would like to see removed or improved. And we have no way to flag them. It would be good to be able to report a puzzle.

Sometimes the puzzle doesnt play the best move. When i analyse with computer, when the best move is played, the puzzle is incorrect.

Other times, the result is unclear even after the puzzle ends. Like #1931284  it ends the puzzle too early. The next few steps are actually important and difficult to resolve correctly.

Maybe like have a reason for the report, like 'Computer didnt play best move', 'Puzzle ended too soon'. 

If chess.com gets some funding for improvements in the future, maybe they can put someone on this.

The first move you play should always be the best move in the line. It doesn't matter what the response is by the opponent. In the vast majority of puzzles, that is going to be correct. If you run across one that is wrong, you can either open a ticket with Support or use the report a bug/make a suggestion feature of the support tool to report it.

As to ending early, the puzzle system is designed to only have one solution, so the puzzle will end once there's a point where there might be multiple valid continuations.
