Improving Tactics

Congrats mohotma! Great accomplishment, getting to 2000. Puzzles can really help grind those tactics into you, and it seems you were able to get up relatively quickly.

Just got 2500+ in puzzle rating 

Fun fact: I got to 2501, then I looked at masterdean's profile and saw his high was at 2510, so I couldn't just stop there tongue.png

That’s awesome. I’ve been afraid to attempt one since I cleared 2k 😂😂

😂😂 well I was in the 2100 range yesterday so I decided I needed to get my rating up - I'm glad I did decide that!

Nicely done N00B! That will be a tough mark to beat. Also congrats Kyle on breaking 2000!

Jumped on puzzles again tonight and managed to get my puzzle rating up to 2600 for a new personal record grin.png

Well, I woke up the next morning and decided to do more puzzles and ended up getting to 2700!

Really impressive, N00B!

You’re killing it! I need to start doing mine again. I’ve been working on my 3 minute puzzle rush as my tactics. I’m super slow still.

Wow! I'm still at 2500

Nice one JoyfulLeopard! Keep it up!

I need to start doing tactics again. My play has fallen off. Congrats @joyfulleopard65

I finally started playing tactics again as my chess was suffering. Almost up to 2100 now. I hope to cross 2200 by the end of September. Wish me luck.

Nice! 2200 is a solid tactics rating to have. Sometimes the only way to get there is by grinding

Got over 2200 in tactics today guys. I’ll be honest, there have been a lot of puzzles that I didn’t think were as difficult as their rating says. 

N00BM4STER

Congrats! Yeah, I think that about some puzzles. I was just looking at a puzzle like 30 seconds ago, it was created 2600 but it was really easy(solved in 11 seconds lol). 2200 is the first step...to 2300! happy.png

Haha got to keep pushing. I’ll be playing some puzzle rush more on the future as well. Really need to study endgames too. Learning chess never stops apparently lol

Yeah, I've been doing puzzle rush a lot recently, although mainly just 5 minute puzzle rush, since it's a good short break I can take while doing other stuff, I did get 35 in a 5 minute puzzle rush recently which was good, at least for me happy.png

35 is amazing noob! I think my top survival is 36. I’m going to focus on 3 minutes. My top is 20 and I’d like to get to 25 by December.

Thanks happy.png I've gotten 35 2 or 3 times now, I've been grinding it a little bit. I should probably try to improve my survival though, haven't worked on that for a while
