Chess puzzles, quantity or recognition?

Is it better to care about your puzzle rating or to just do an many puzzles as possible for pattern recognition?

Rapid

Do as many as you can and don’t worry about your rating. Of course you want a high rating for harder and more challenging puzzles but pattern recognition is what you need/want most.

In my opinion, the puzzle ratings themselves don’t matter much (they’re anyway super inflated), but it is important to try to understand them. So try to get most of them right, while also doing multiple for pattern recognition. I feel like both quality and quantity are important here (for maximum benefits). But yeah in terms of the actual ratings, those ones don’t matter much.

Puzzle rate for better practice

I did 376 puzzles last Friday. Is that too many?

I mean… never too many (as far as I know), at least if you tried to get them right and understand them…

But wow, nice job (that’s some great commitment).

The most important part of doing puzzles is to gain experience in tough positions, and to figure out how to gain an advantage in a position. Rating is just a number, which identifies your skill level, however Rating isn't necessary for puzzles. Doing puzzles is mainly to apply them to the games we play, so doing a range of puzzles is also really good. Therefore, in my opinion, I believe that your Puzzle Rating doesn't really matter. What really matters is how you apply them to real life scenarios.

I'd say both since focusing on rating gets you more focused, but the drawback is that you rage over getting it wrong. But doing too many puzzles and not caring about the rating will get you playing lower-level puzzles, which doesn't give you as much of a challenge as higher-rated puzzles.
Hope this helps!

Like if you get too competitive, you could always take a break from them... but that's probably just me.

Puzzle rush is better than rapid

he is right

At your level, you want to do a million easy puzzles to build up your pattern recognition. It's like doing layup drills in basketball. You want to master the fundamentals. So either custom puzzles at low rating or puzzle rush survival could be good.

Pattern recognition is very important for chess growth

I don't know if that's enough!

I'm kidding. you can do as many as you want.

I think puzzle ratings show that a player at that level should get 100% of the puzzles right so if I get about half of my puzzles right and have 2600 puzzles a 2600 should get 100% of Mt puzzles right

That’s a good idea of how it might be…

But I feel like it depends, because some people take a long time on puzzles, some barely take any time, so that could be different for different people (especially considering the fact that how much rating you get partly depends on the time you take).

Besides, the ratings get super irrelevant later on, like there are people with unbelievably high ratings.
