tactics trainer

Hi! My case is that in tactics trainer there are lot's of puzzles where there is only one solution (which is the best one) but in many cases there are also lines that are completely winning, like winning queen etc. It would be nice that those lines would be added too as a correct lines, because finding one absolute winning line should be enough.
- because finding one absolute winning line should be enough.

generally yes but with 5s left on your clock you might see things different - then its absolutely essential to find the mate in 2,3,4,5.. instead of just winning a queen.
somerandomoves, you're absolutely right, and this has been brought up many times. If tactics trainer allowed as an alternate move all moves over a threshold, such as +2 or +3, it would not be a problem.

Panti, a limited time situation is exactly when you shouldn't spend several minutes wracking your brain to figure out whether a difficult eight move sacrificial mating sequence works, when you can easily win a queen instead!
