2007-04-02 21:08:30keaawI don't think it's too easy -- all tactics problems are "easy" once you see the answer, the point with this one is that there are many distracting potential candidates that look good at first but don't work out if you look further.
2007-04-18 10:39:24PrufrockI have to agree with keaaw heree

2007-10-06 22:03:30ernestolestoneasy for others, not to me ;)
2007-11-19 03:48:48LowScorethe rating is perfectly fine. After all, the rating is based on the Tactician's ability to solve it...it it were "too easy", more Tacticians would solve it, and its rating would drop.
2008-01-04 20:39:41rarehairquite easy, some 1300ers are more complicated or difficult to see.
2008-02-10 01:04:20Tamawow unbelevable ..easy.
2008-04-10 02:52:05wolf212768yeah, i saw it at the very first moment. im only 1175 rated. But i got thinking about what said "Lowscore" about rating in general... ;) -
2008-10-07 00:48:35merenderaI agree with keaaw: it's not so easy to determine quickly the best move between taking the knight or the bishop or the check
2008-12-31 03:13:28TamaYour Missing the big picture ALL 1500 are EASY.
2009-01-03 08:10:08McNerdTama misses the big picture: Chess skills don't prove your intelligence if you can't express yourself in your own native language.
2009-01-03 08:13:30McNerdApologies to all for trying to make a flamewar on emrald.net. These comments should be productive, no more.
2009-01-14 16:21:53FabioXThe 1500 score was not set by CTS authors, this is the score that this problem gets by beating the users. So it's "exact".
2009-07-09 18:30:43MagicCatYes It is too easy for 1500 (but my fide rating 2055!) But I was so surprised seeing these thousands of comments !

2009-08-25 18:46:32ChessPlayer56agree with MagicKitten (magiccat)
2010-02-01 14:46:03sarcinessThere are other tempting moves, so I think the rating is justified.
2010-04-15 06:11:08AbhishekIs this problem REALLY a 1500 or am I just seeing things?
