Puzzles

Hi All.

I thought I'd test my luck at a few puzzles today and came across this one http://en.lichess.org/training/16859

I don't know what other peoples views are upon puzzles but I would really appreciate it if there was like a button you could push that will reveal the answer.

Does anyone have any speculations?

NB: After failing the puzzle mentioned above countless times I put it into an engine and Stockfish recommends 1.hxg3 but even though I tried to do it in the puzzle (wasn't my primary move so I did fairly lose the points) it didn't work.

Kind regards

I got that puzzle instantly... once you are incorrect you click the forward button and see the solution.

there is no way stockfish didnt take that rook...
1. hxg3 is really bad due to Qxg3. Check your engine again.
The puzzle is definitely good.

Check your board input again when using the engine ... just guessing but you *probably* forgot to put the Ra5 on the board.

BTW ... that's a hint for the solution.
Can someone please tell me the solution? I can't seem to get it. It's really frustrating me!!!!!
