As many I've been occasionally trying the puzzles and I must say I find them frustrating. To make my case I will use puzzle number 61578 as an example.
1) This puzzle (As many others) was based on a banned player's move. It doesn't feel good to try and find a cheater's move.
2) Still the above was just something that upsets me, it can still be a good puzzle. The man problem is that (SPOILERS AHEAD) the answer to the puzzle is 1. Qb3 - Rxc5 2. Qb4-R (somewhere) and then 3. Rxh6+ and whites captures the black Queen. This is the variation you must count in order to get in the variation otherwise you just hang the c pawn, right ? Well The Computer answers with Qb3 - e4 (??). I understand that evaluation-wise it might be the better reply but now simply Qxc2 and there is no real chess and/or counting involved. This is an extremely common occurance and it's just bad puzzle solving.
Thank you.
