#8: I really enjoyed this puzzle too, despite its low score of... zero.

12.Bxf6 was my first candidate, then 12.Nb5, then 12.Rc1. Took me some time to realize that allowing black to castle would leave white queen trapped. On the other hand, 12.Qxg7 allows Nc2+ with fork and has to be calculated. 12.Qxg7 Rf8 has to be calculated also. For its current rating of 1990, I found it pretty interesting. Why remove it?

I agree with #11. I see no reason to remove that puzzle. It's just a test of clear calculation, which is basically the point of doing puzzles.

In particular, the puzzle is not "incorrect". White is winning back the knight on a1, so will actually be up material at the end.
