Often when solving puzzles the moves by the computer are not as good as they should be. If you review the puzzle it shows the better moves.

The initial move for the side you're playing should always be the best move, regardless of the continuation. The continuation isn't always going to be the top lines (puzzles are set solutions, not computer moves) and often will be to provide specific tactical patterns.
