Hi,
The puzzle in lichess.org/training/79358 is a really nice one, but the main line checked by the computer is not the most important\intereseting one for the solution of the puzzle.
The rook sacrifice 1...Rc2! is correct, but the variant checked by the computer is
1...Rc2 2.Qxc2 Nf2+ 3.Qxf2 , which is maybe the best by the computer, but not the most important to check that someone solved the puzzle.
A more interesting continuation is 3.Kg1 Ng4+ 4.Rc7!! Deflecting the queen from the defence on f2, to initiate smothered-mate pattern.
If you can change the main line it would make this puzzle more effective.
Thanks :)
