Tactics Trainer

Hi all :)
i made a lots of tactics puzzles, but for me this TT system must be improved.

i mean;
if in a puzzle there is a mate in 7-8 or 9 moves....this is the 100% correct answare...but...
if i find a combination to win a Queen and a Rook with a final +20 (or more) material points ... it must to be considerated a good answare too.

for the second answare, for me is not good to receive a "Puzzle failed -10 points" after to have won a queen and a rook.

for me should be better, for my example, to receive a "Good answare" message with less points, for example 1-2 or 3 points.
I can understand ZERO points too... but not "Puzzle failed -10".

I don't like the "black and white" system (puzzle correct or puzzle failed), for me is obsolete.
For me is correct to have a gray scale of answares.

Sure, if i win a pawn ....the puzzle is failed, but a queen and a rook is different.
Every puzzle have more than 1 good answare to win the game.
That's the weak spot of lichess puzzles, everyone know about it, thereisafix for that - "good move but you can do better" - but those who make puzzles rarely use this feature. Anyway, why would anyone care about puzzle rating, if the point is to solve it and improve your skills.
yes , i don't care for the points, infact i wrote that i accept zero points too....

i know, i use TT for learning...but is not funny to receive a bad message "Puzzle Failed" after some minutes of thinking, and after to have found a very good move sequence (like to win a queen and a rook in 4-5 moves).

is only a matter of satisfaction to receive a good message....is not matter of points :)
You did good, ScaccoLento! Don't let these puzzles make you sad. Message me if you ever need to talk. We can get through this difficult time together.

I'm here for you.
