Im at elo 1500 in puzzle.
But this things are annoying me long time.
The puzzles has ridiculus time limits.
Any puzzle has this same 0-1 min time limit.
Think about it. How an elo 400 saw a mate in 1 within 1 min?
OR
How an elo 1500 saw a material win in 4 moves with a fork within 1 min?
But why time matter?
Cause chess puzzle score is time based. So basicaly if you think 10-15 min on a puzzle or even more like 26 min to 100% solve it. You only got 5 point...
So chess . com sais to you this: If you dont know this sic mate in 4 within 16s you are an idi*ot but here 5 point to your hard work.
Lets see the numbers
You are at elo 1500 and you want to be 1600
Thats 20 puzzle if you think more than 1 min and you will cause these 1500 puzzles are hard sometimes
OR 7 puzzle if you gamble instantly.
So you can gain 100 elo with 20x1-10 min so thats like 100 min? (+-100)
Or you can gain 100 elo with luck about 1 min?
WHY?
Why thinking is bad?
Why a man/woman who sit and think 20 min get 5 point and some random chad gamble a check gain 15 elo???
-----------------
The smaller problem are the puzzles with multiple win strat.
I got a puzzle today with a solution of a mate in 4.
I didnt saw that but i won 1 horse 1 bis and 1 rook. Yeah its not mate but still +9 and i guess a normal player can win with+9... So why i lost 15 point??? Nobody knows..
Puzzle times are ridiculus and not encourage the players to think.
Change my mind.
Sorry for bad english.
Overall time to solve is based on historical solving times by other members and is based the ratings of those members as well.
You can take as much time as you want and you'll always get at least one point if you get the puzzle correct. So you can train for accuracy or you can train for speed of pattern recognition.
