puzzles

The 1900-2000 rated puzzles are very unbalanced.

Some puzzles are utterly trivial 2-move mates with not much going on (so it's pretty easy to figure out how to mate, and even by trial-and-error won't take long). Most recent example is puzzle #VIssh

Others are far more complex and difficult to see (i.e. more stuff going on in the position), and sometimes 3-4 moves (i.e. up to 8 moves total). Despite this severe discrepancy puzzles are rated the same :/
