Hello! I was playing https://lichess.org/training/WrQNY and made a move only to find myself in a position where either rook move would end up in a mate. I am reluctant to move because of the 50/50 chance I'll lose points! Am I missing something?
Wish I could delete this post. It turns out that either move resulted in winning the puzzle. Sorry that I did not fully explore options before posting, but glad that the new puzzle system is performing really well!
Ah, it's good that when a checkmate is involved we handle multiple solutions correctly. (I might have a difference of opinion w/Lichess on other puzzles, and that's OK since I'm not the one maintaining it.)
This post claims that exact thing happened and he failed puzzle

Can anyone check? I was not able to find puzzle, there is only number 44646511.
#4 I played that specific puzzle recently (before this post was made) and both rooks worked for me. Although there was an issue for mobile app where only one solution would be accepted. This issue was brought to light by many users a few weeks ago and I believed it got fixed, if not yet then devs are certainly working on it. As you can see, the reddit guy was playing on a phone.
