Puzzle 36287: Broken?
http://en.lichess.org/training/36287
After white dodges the check, black makes an odd move that allows a fork check. Without that rook placement (which doesn't seem to have any compelling strategic motive behind it), white can only really gain a pawn and this wouldn't really be worth 1400+. If my assessment is correct, then it's puzzling how this got included as one of the puzzles.
It would be nice if there was a way to specifically flag puzzles for being "broken". The current upvotes/downvotes mechanism just mushes various sentiments (interesting/boring, functional/broken, etc.) into one metric. You can't even make a proper vote when your appraisals aren't in the same vein. (e.g. You might find something boring even if you don't think it is broken or you might like something because it was easy even though it was actually broken.)
P.S. I did search for "36287" before I created this topic and this example hasn't been mentioned anywhere yet.
