love to have short explainer videos for puzzles like you have for daily puzzle, like not sure why the last moves on this https://www.chess.com/puzzles/problem/1250159 what they were vs not moving bishop away to safety first , before moving pawn. maybe as pawn to queen and then win with just king but a video would have heped and for many others. might not be obvious to all of us

If the bishop is moved first, the black king will be able to enter the square of the pawn, https://www.chess.com/terms/square-rule-chess, and prevent the pawn promotion giving white a drawn game instead of a win.

As to videos, the are over 600,00 puzzles in the database and a video for each wouldn't be feasible. You could always launch analysis to follow your idea and see how the engine defends or use the finish vs the computer to try ideas out.
