19 ... Kf8
After a puzzle is solved (or failed), you can click on the slider to enable the engine. Then make your Bxf7 and see what the response is.

A much kinder response than mine was. Definitely a lesson for me brother.

Every single time. I've never seen someone being correct in a post complaining about a puzzle.

> OK. Here is another issue. Am I missing something? Puzzle #YlfUz. My move 19Bxf7 appears to be checkmate, although the puzzle thinks it is only check. But the puzzle says it is the wrong move and says the correct one is Qxf7, which is definitely only check and not mate. Am I right or am I missing something again?
Bxf7+ is not mate. Kf8, you lost the checkmate sequence and the game is equal. Qxf7+ leads to checkmate on the next move. When you are done with the puzzle turn on the engine and try the moves you think are correct to figure out why you're wrong.
Two questions:
1) Why is not mate?
2) How can I bring up the puzzle to look at it again? I don't know how to navigate to a specific puzzle.
TIA

As i-bex said Kf8 allows the king to escape
As for the puzzle just use
https://lichess.org/training/
and then add to the string the puzzle number without the hash
In your case
https://lichess.org/training/YlfUz
OK. I see it now. Thanks. And thaqnks also for the technical support.
