This is a bad puzzle right? You sacrifice a piece without seeing an immediate advantage or am I missing something? For the record I got the puzzle right but I just assumed checkmate was one or two away. Nope. I looked in analysis and it said mate in 15 or something.
Is there an advantage I'm missing by sacrificing the bishop or is it just mate in 15?
It's the only line and there's a forced mate. The puzzle stops where it does as there are multiple good continuations.
