Feature "add comments" to puzzle section

Hello you guys are fantastic.

Just a suggestion for a new feature that will engage users and allow more interaction, and make more interesting puzzles.

In some of the puzzles I've noticed alternative moves that might be at least equivalent or better. I've noted the position and studied it throughout. I caught myself needing to write under the puzzles to share my views on a particular move. And on top of that maybe have a "report" feature that can trigger an alternative valuation if enough players submit an alternative move, in standard notation i.e. 3... Nf5, etc.

Overall, I think it might be a great idea to have a comment section feature were players can comment on variations or why something does it doesn't work as an alternative after attempting a puzzle.

I think it would be a great feature to add. What do you think fellas?

Click on from game [link] and use the spectator room? Lots of puzzles have chat there.

You can still ask for more then that ofc, but I think that is sufficient (prioritizing against other features here)

Aha! I see. I guess that's a roundabout way of going about the feature I'm suggesting, but it's a solution, though not as immediate. I see your point though.

I suppose a comments feature in the puzzles that I'm suggesting is more of a "specific to the puzzle" discussion, where players can note alternatives or discuss certain aspects of the puzzle. Some of these puzzles are absolutely beautiful and I catch myself many times wanting the community to input their views? Maybe limit to 200 characters so it's brief?

In any case, just a thought. Maybe others would appreciate something of the sort. I know you guys are busy, so maybe one day it may be added, maybe not. Cheers!

To be clear, I am not a dev, that was just my thoughts. You can make an issue on https://github.com/ornicar/lila/issues if you want.

  1. Feature "add comments" to puzzle section, is very good to have!

  2. Another problem about puzzles: some of them are having value "0" on user appreciation,
    that mean mostly that the puzzle is wrong, inaccurate or have a better solution.
    This kind of puzzles should be taken out, because it are consuming our time and points in a very frustrating way.

Please somebody to ask for this on github.com!
