I Love Solving Chess Puzzles!
Today I correctly solved my 4000th puzzle on this site. Thats a lot of puzzles! I first joined this site twenty three months ago and started slowly with the puzzle solving because I wasn't sure if it was of any value to me as a student of the game. After taking a lot of lessons and playing a lot of games I decided that puzzle solving could also be a valuable tool to help me learn the game of chess. My current puzzle rating is 1768 which is pretty good for me considering that when I started I was at a beginning level of 350. I truly love solving the puzzles because I find them to be an excellent challenge for me and they teach me some tactics that I would never know without seeing them first hand.
I would like to know how many puzzles other people have solved? Let me know in your reply.
