Hi,
Though the mechanism for problems creation seems ingénues (bravo!) it can be quite frustrating:
a) It is not rare to find puzzles with several good moves. This makes it hard to solve the problem as sometimes you have to guess the machine solution (why for example is 3.Ra3 better than 3.Ra6+ as both wins in http://en.lichess.org/training/13602). Sometimes the obvious solution looks so simple I’m guessing a more complicated one just to discover that the “hard” problem was just the simple I saw immediately (In http://en.lichess.org/training/44971, for example, 2.Rd4 was my guess as the obvious 2.Nd3+ looks too simple (both of them wins)).
b) The above is especially irritating since making a single mistake drops your rating enormously so it is hard to enjoy the problem solving!
Thanks
Ofer
