Tactics Question Error ? No:55581

Lichess Solution:
wins 1 pawn worth of material

My solution:
1.Qxf3 Nxc1
2.Bxa8 Ne2+
3.Rxe2 Rxa8

wins an outright Knight
Black responses are from Stockfish AI8
Just checked with Garbo Chess engine (45sec) the problem still seems to persist. Can someone else have a look?
Stockfish is correct. Your tactic wins a knight, but Stockfish's is just crushing. The knight will be stuck on C1 indefinitely and the queen will gobble up all the pawns. In the end will be QBB v RR.
____ Hello. Please help me... Is there a way to pull up whaterver puzzle you want?? Luddites must suffer for their ignorance @ times
@ Flourish: Can you suggest a line where that happens ? i can't see it clearly. (if this is so, then this means solution is cut too short don't you think?)

@Isaiah4031: type lichess.org/training/"questionNumber" to get to the desired one if you know the number.
THANKS TO YOU Mr. MENTAL!! I have a notebook page of questionable puzzles & openings exercises...

Flourish plays VERY solid chess -- and should have good insight! ___
I like your way of playing the position & -- because of the way the puzzles work -- could not even figure out what they wanted as a preferred line... [If you know of a way to get the answers please let me know] BUT, REGARDLESS, I only use the puzzles as a snapshot exercise and don't trouble myself about my inability to perform like a machine.......... Go Humans!!!
