I actually really disagree.

The one I just played, I guessed in four. But the key thing I like about this format is that you're evaluating all the tension points in a position, and then figuring out what the order of operations needs to be. So on my third guess, I got all but the second move right. Then I had to work backwards and forwards to figure the rest out.

I quite liked it. Ostensibly, the same is true in a puzzle, but in this format there's more opportunity for trial and error to discover more about the position you might not have seen in the first glance.
