Puzzle Rush

Today I reached my new best in Puzzle Rush Survival! A few weeks ago, I could only get <10. But, after doing a lot of puzzles, my puzzle rating is around 1200. I think 2 weeks ago I got 19 in puzzle rush survival, just 1 short @ChessSensasian's record, but spending a lot more time. @ChessSensasian has reached 20(i am very impressed that he got 20 in 3 min, 5 min, AND survival!), and today I have also in survival. Still, I spent WAY too much time (0:51 avg per puzzle).

However, my goal today was to reach 20, so I did it slowly, and at the end I did it! I think the most fortunate moment was solving https://www.chess.com/puzzles/problem/496724, which is Rf8, threatening Qg8#. To prevent the mate, black will have to play Qf2+ giving up the queen, or play h5, but anyways the black queen is trapped.

Share your best puzzle rushes below!

P.S. Yes my background is the CCMSL background.

i got a 19 today, I was close, but I played the wrong move for puzzle rating 459 (see my profile). I took the h6 pawn with the queen first but it should have been the rook takes the pawn.

I got a new best! I got 24. I have to say today was quite easy, most were standard stuff. My favorite was the smothered mate (I have seen this knight manoeuvre 10 times), i got a streak of 21 happy.png, avg time = 0:31. really nice puzzle rush. the first puzzle I got wrong... UHHHH I FOROGT TO TAKE THE OPPOSITION!!! Should have Ke3 but played f3 i need to brush up my endgame skills.

for second wrong, I got the correct idea but I should have taken the knight with the rook, because there is a threat of a mate which has to be dealt with by opponent sacrificing a queen for a rook. SHOULD NOT HAVE GOTTEN IT WRONG

for third, i couldn't solve, so no blaming. BUT I COULD HAVE GOTTEN 26!!!

Me vs Hashi:

3 min: 10 because I haven't done in a long time, technically 14 because of puzzle battle vs 20

5 min: 19 vs 20

Survival: 24 vs 20

Today I achieved new 5 min record: 29 (previously 28). I haven’t done puzzle rush in a while, I forgot how addicting it can be!

higher than @cellomaster8 in puzzle rush surv now!

Avatar of LLLhk

Another 26! I spent more time, but that is because I had to do something in the middle of the puzzle rush, so this is technically my new best.
