I was solving this puzzle and had a hard time.

After a while i thought i had the solution and took the horse with my bishop the puzzle told me i was wrong so i took the chess puzzle solver out and he even said i was right?

Is there a way to get point back?

I don't know what engine you used but Bxd4 is not the right solution. It leaves black in a better position after Qxd4+. (Black is up a pawn after all.)

The right solution wins a piece for white. It moves the white queen to a location where it can theaten the knight and where it can still take the knight if it retreats.

I won't give the actual solution so that you can look at the puzzle again. If you press the light bulb, it will show you another hint.

It's a tough puzzle. The solve rate is just under 25% after 19,000 attempts.

I didn't see the solution, I didn't try for too long, but I had no clue what the idea could be. Bur after I checked with the engine, the solution made perfect sense. Once you'll see it, you'll know too. You can also use the theme as an addition hint, but be careful because it gets you real close to the solution.

It appears that the solution may not be correct. I have double-checked the puzzle and noticed a possible mistake in the moves. I recommend reviewing the position again or considering alternative moves. Sometimes, small nuances in the puzzle can lead to a different, yet correct, solution.
