Do you think the puzzle rating system is unfair?

In puzzles, the higher you go, the less points you get, and more points you lose when you make a mistake. It doesn’t seem so bad as highly rated puzzlers are more seasoned or practiced chess players. But, picture this. You’re a 4000 rated puzzler. You solved so many puzzles tirelessly and you made it to 4100 (5 points for each correct puzzle), but you accidentally made a mistake… and another… and another….Until you’re back at 4000. This is by personal experience. You can lose anywhere between 25-38 ish points each time you get a puzzle wrong, and you don’t get more points if you get a harder puzzle correct! Do you agree that this is unfair?

i think theres a fix around this, if you go into settings and under gameplay set ur puzzle diffculty from standard to hard or extra hard but overall yes its a problem thats why lichess puzzles are better

also let me add something to this

it for some reason it resettled my entire puzzle rating as well after the update

and I had 2000 at one point but it erased that whole progress that I did for nothing

so, I wish that it could keep your rating instead resetting it

Nah, I can see both my weak and strong sides. Also, there are websites like ChessTempo that show more accurate stats
