I'm done with Chess.com puzzles. It's just outrageous. The rating system makes no sense, I've been 4 months stuck around 1700 rating bc whenever I climb up, a bunch of 1100-1400 rated, harder than their rating puzzles will show up to crush me down again. I am not one of those who usually complain and leave it at the first time, but it has reached a point where it is discouraging and tiring. The straw that has broken the camel's back is this puzzle. Scored 1400 (what a surprise). Literally the module gives a draw at the start and end of the puzzle (there is no best move, it should be a draw by repetition). The move that 'solves' the puzzle involves you predicting that the opponent will break the 3 move draw by making a move that disadvantages him (and put him in Mate in 1), so you just keep moving your rook in hopes that this is what will happen. It's moronic.
I'm fed up, congratulations Chess.com you have discouraged one more amateur to enter the world of chess. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
It doesn't matter if the tho opponent breaks the repetition or not. The whole point of the puzzle is to see the only option is to keep checking. After the deviation white has to still step back to g3 and the position will repeat.
