Hi, Is it just me or did the rating of rated puzzles in chess.com become quite random the past ~1 week? For background, I have been playing on chess.com for 2 years now playing rated puzzles pretty much every day. I gave been stable 2200+ in puzzles for months now. It used to be that when I solved puzzles in succession I got higher and higher rated puzzles, but since a week it is completely random. I solve 2-3 2000+ rated puzzles then suddenly I get a 1200 rated one, which is actually a super tough one and lose 20+ point instantly, while if I do manage to solve it I get 5 points... I have been testing every day for a week now, and it is the same story. Am I going crazy or is someone else also experiencing the same?

There's been a change on how ratings work on the backend and the shown puzzle ratings are not necessarily going to be accurate. My understanding is the shown puzzle ratings are going to be updated to reflect the backend changes.

okay, thank you for the quick feedback! So in the current status it is a feature not a bug kind of situation grin.png . Do you maybe know when 'the shown puzzle rating are going to be updated'?

Essentially. The system is in an in between state. I don't know when work will be completed so the value shown will be the new system.

I noticed the exact same thing, my puzzle rating is 3200, and for the most part I get 2800-3100 puzzles, but got a 1800 puzzle that was actually quite difficult. Since I got it wrong, I also went down 25 points.

I am having the same issue...been getting lots of puzzles that are much lower than my rating and significantly more difficult than their ratings. suggest.
