This is sort of a rant. Just a warning... I Believe that everyone wants harder chess problems for the problem otd!!! We don't want to have some beginner chess problem that makes us feel good we want the hard stuff that topalov and carlsen try to solve! Please post and join me in my protest against the stupid chess.com daily problems!!!

Give Tactics Trainer a try. There are plenty of hard problems in there.

yes but tactics trainer gets dull and there is not the same conversation. I think many people would like the daily problem more if it were harder

This site caters to every skill of player , start of the week with easy problems and increase the difficulty towards the end of the week.

Some players need to learn the basics before they start thinking like Topalov .

For the conversation part, perhaps you could start a group and post links to some tactics training problems that you do and want to discuss. Then you'll get the conversation and the caliber of difficulty that you are looking for. Then other members can post memorable problems too and you can all try them and discuss each others' problems and tactical approaches.

what you define as "hard" and "easy" could be different for others defintions.

yes while that may be true the problem is that the site caters to all players which i think is great but as i am a rapidly increasing b class player (not on chess.com where i suck) such easy puzzles are often discouraging

I would guess anyone could, if they took long enough.

It isnt the problem that the problems are easy just the losing side in the puzzle nearly always plays like a complete retard
