Mostly I get +16 when I get a tactic correct (100%), but now only +8??

Yeah, they changed the algorithm again for like the umpteenth time.  Look at the bright side: you won't be able to blow 50 or 100 points in one bad session nearly as easily. Laughing

Tactics trainer rating!

This area has endless number of question marks.

(1)  Lately I got incorrect from TWO exercises -the reason I finished with mate as correct but used a wrong piece (there were two pieces making the mate to choose and I did choose the wrong one?????)

(2) I studied from the list of high rated problems and found a problem with rating 2600 where you should only understand to move the queen to the open h-file where knight already protected the place for the mate??????

(There are MUCH more difficult problems on the 1100 rated list)

(3) Some players had something 3700-3800 tacics rating with few hunder of attemps alltogether and some 1500 live game elo ??????
 
AND SO ON...............Cool

Here's my two sad stories.

I take my time to get it right. After 4 minutes I solve it correctly and lose points for being too slow. Same for the next and the next. After aboout 30 minutes I see that I solved 8 of 10 problems and lost 50 points in the process. Frown

Second version. I get it right in 1:30 and gain 2 points. Next problem I get it right in 2:00 and gain 1 point. Third problem I get it right in :50 and gain 4 points. Next problem I miss it and lose 9 points. So I get 3 of 4 correct and lose 2 points for doing so. It happens all the time. Undecided
