Puzzle mode

Can we add a REAL puzzle mode in study? Not the hide all moves thing?

Let me try to answer your question. Lichess is capable of creating real puzzles not only in study but even when examining games from other people.

Here is an example. I have a study position in KRP vs KR, the KR should be able to draw in that position. So what I did is take it as a game against the AI, and test my ability if I can draw the position handling the KR side.

Try KRP vs KR
en.lichess.org/study/ktY9CFCa

* Select the initial position of the KRP vs KR chapter
* Press menu
* Select continue from here
* Press play with the machine
* You may select the ai level
* Select the side

Here is my sample game I play as black against the weakest ai level as an example. I may play against higher level later so that I can get good resistance.

I believe this method is the real puzzle for a player.
I think you misunderstood me.

What I meant is if we can get a puzzle mode, so that other players can play a puzzle without seeing the answer. Like the tactics trainer.
#2 I would suggest that feature requests be in this forum (since the Q&A format isn't suited for discussion, the best answer that can be offered there is "yes" or "no" or "maybe").

I understand that, but the TS raised a question in post #1, that is why it should have been in the Q&A.

It seemed to me you are already knowledgeable on the capability of study. And when I see you capitalize the real in the "REAL puzzle mode" something has triggered in me to show how the puzzle is best practiced as close as possible to a real situation ;-)
Doing this puzzle: lichess.org/training/38043 after Rb8 Qa6, I played Nb4 and it said I failed. Then after I went to the analysis board and, after playing through the line after Nb4 (...Qa7, Ra8 Qb7, Bc6) and thinking for a little bit the computer decided it liked my move better. Almost half a pawn better than the Officially Correct move Rb6. But in puzzle mode it still doesn't like Nb4 and I can't get my 5 puzzle rating points back so. like wtf man
