Is there a way to report a puzzle that's annoying?

In this puzzle there are 2 winning moves on the critical (2nd) move.

I thought there should only be one clearly winning move. In this case one move is +7, the other is like +5, but the 2nd best option fails the puzzle. It's not like with the 2nd move Black gets counterplay, any decent player could beat Stockfish at full strength from this "+5 position", even though the "correct" move is indeed a bit better.

I thought there was a way to report these so they would end them one move before or remove them.

Thx

I understand exactly what you mean, as I have found numerous examples of such in the past.

Unfortunately, I don’t think there is a way to report a puzzle, although chess.com should add that.

Yes but they are kindof rare... For example if the 2nd best move is +1.5 but gives opponent play-- and the best move is +3 but for some practical reason it's clearly alot better - fine...

but this is just silly

I agree.

Kg2 is not nearly as good as Be6, so it fails.

There is a big difference between +8.8 and +4.5.
 
There used to be a way to report puzzles but it has evidently been dropped.

They can be reported through a support ticket. Though I have passed it along so it should be handled.

Fair enough but the computer on low depth initially says +7 and +4.5 and the point is it's not a double edged +4.5, Kg2 is also completly winning and the better move is hard to spot that's all
