A different kind of puzzle.

The puzzles are derived from previously played games and if one enjoys solving puzzles makes a move that was not originally played, one fails, a kind of guess the move ordeal, but this need not be. What I am suggesting is a category of puzzles with a Chess Engine attached, so that when one makes a move that was not originally played the Chess Engine would take over and would act as an opponent for the duration of the puzzle.

The thing is that if a puzzle is (for example) a mate in 2, and you miss it, the position could be any evaluation.

Is it a game dominated by black, where white suddenly has the chance for a swindle? If you miss, you lose the game.

Is it a drawn endgame in which one side blunders and leads to mate? If you miss, the game is a draw.

If it is a crushing positional advantage where the evaluation changes from #N to +/-30, you'll win easily at some point.
What you are saying actually happens in some mate in 1 puzzles.... for ex( I don't have the link) there is a scholar's mate and the king is completely surrounded, you can do mate with the bishop AND the queen, although originally only one could have been moved in the game
So, you want guess the move rather. It's there at chess.com but it doesn't help in any way. If only for entertainment, it might be so. Also, Lichess doesn't plan to do anything weird.
