Puzzle road update

What is up with this seemingly secret 'puzzle road' update? No official information I could find anywhere.

I recall having read an official post from half a year ago mentioning they were looking for a replacement system of the current leagues. So maybe this might be part of it?

Please share any information or thoughts you have, thank you!

It's only been released on Android and I don't believe it has been fully released to all Android users.

Crazy you completed all of them. I assume you were intentionally lowering your rating in order to create those big streaks? Also strange we haven't heard any official information by chess.com yet

My rating definitely suffered a lot when I started going for quantity vs quality. But it certainly is more interesting to alternate between periods of solving puzzles very fast (and getting many wrong as a result - it's sort of like puzzle rush but without the 3 strikes) vs taking time to solve each one correctly. It's not against the rules AFAIK. I'm not the first one to finish Puzzle Journey either, there were a bunch of other puzzle addicts who did it before me and bragged about it on forums happy.png

I suppose Chess.com wanted to test this out for a limited amount of users first (it's only available for Android app users at the moment) before rolling it out for everybody to make sure everything runs smoothly - and rightfully so, I reported some technical issues to staff.
