Can someone from chess.com please reply?? I think members on this site can learn more and faster if you mix problems of varying difficulties/ratings in the tactics trainer versus in the current system! And it seems relatively easy to implement such a change!
Tactics trainer feedback and suggestion
Sort:
I think the tactics trainer is great! My only suggestion is that, in order to help players improve faster, please mix in problems of significantly higher ratings "randomly" (say, make it about 30% of all the rated problems each player gets) so as to make tactics trainer more challenging and instructive instead of ALWAYS only presenting problems that are close to the player's current rating (I am speaking only of the "rated" setting, of course). I find that I don't improve very fast or significantly when I am only presented with problems near my current rating. Even though I might initially struggle with them, I definitely wouldn't mind getting problems rated 300, 400, or even more points higher than my current rating so that I can learn more from them and accelerate my improvement and progress! PLEASE do this (or at least make it an addditional option for each player -- perhaps you can even allow each player to set the percentage of harder problems!)!
