Can this be a good chess problem?

I totally agree with IM ToLazyToGetAName! Being punished for finding a winning move is the most stupid thing in terms of chess training. The new puzzles are better because there's only one solution. In real games you rarely have time to find the best move. If you spot a winning one, there's no need to look for more complicated stuff. And of course, between an obscure mate in one and winning a free a queen you should always take the bloody queen, :-)
