oh nice, I'm definitely not a 2600 level player and am quite surprised by that
I initially said Rfb8 but realized that bishop taking knight after ruins the idea. so thought about blocking the bishop which seemed safe since no pieces seemed under threat

Yeh I went through the same thought process and I'm around 1600.
I think I might find it in a Rapid game (although I'm sure less than 20% chance) but zero chance in Blitz.
The Maia model was trained on Lichess Blitz games so might explain it.

Precisely.
But it's also a puzzle, and you know by the nature of puzzles that there is something in the position.
The real q is whether you would have spotted it in a live game
reply
Correct. According to Maia even a 2600 rated player only has 23.6% chance of finding this. A 1600 player around 5.6%.
