I approximated your message to be this. Please let me know if I am wrong. Anyways, there are a select few CAPTCHA options which literally cannot be solved due to automatic promotion to a queen, specifically if one must promote to a knight for checkmate. I have this auto-promotion setting off, but that setting doesn't apply to CAPTCHAs.

I seen that happen to friends, and I agree.

Did you encounter this recently? There was a lila issue tracking this, but it was closed (completed) in May 2021.

huh? All I get are queen mate in ones. I've never seen anything more complicated then a scholar mate.

Anything but those "captcha" ones that ask you to click squares with objects in, or ones that ask you to reproduce totally illegible letters.

Yes. No freakin' boats!

OP, this is a chess site. What could be more fun than the captcha they've got?

The current Lichess captcha is the most hassle-free captcha I have ever encountered. Keep it.

Agreed

We should enjoy these CAPCHAs as long as we can. When the machines have taken over they will make mate in 20 moves CAPCHAs to make sure no human can enter.
