I've been playing chess for 6 years (used Chess.com for 2 of those years) and I can't even get 10 on puzzle rush! Can you please help me?

yes, just look at each puzzle until you find a win. Set up a board and place all the pieces on it, then record what you think for each move and play it out on the board until you've fully solved the puzzle. This is a fool-proof (unless you get lazy) way to solve puzzles, so... might take a couple hours but once you do it once it's easier the next time...

or you could just take free stuff and boom, 20+...

without cheating. If you vs me in puzzle battle, there is a 1M+% chance you'll beat me...

Maybe get a coach

 

A coach requires the student to put in the work. Getting 10+ (especially as a 1000+ player) is easy enough with practice.

*mouseslips 3x in a row while you get the first puzzle right*

% can never be greater than 100 anyways...

YOU HAVE 51? I ONLY HAVE 6

I'll be so happy if I can get 10

Oh. Found the problem. Seems you only play bullet and four-player chess. Try rapid, more conducive for improvement.

*laughs in 47 best today-*

not trying to boast, just saying if someone as bad as me (hung three queens in one blitz game) can do it, you can definitely get much, much better.

Look for checks, captures and threats at every problem! Set a timer for hard problems, and avoid bullet chess! After these steps try puzzle rush!

Coaches cost money.  Don't waste your money.  Spend more time playing chess, and do lessons.
