I was playing puzzles and I saw this super easy puzzle was rated as 2200 ! I don't think this puzzle even can be rated +1300 as the checkmate is really obvious.

Also this is another 2200 puzzle I saw but again it was obvious and at most 1600

Coool, a mystery - i don't have a clue and i would like to know the answer too. Something about the puzzles rating distribution? would that tend to keep the distribution in a certain shape, if some puzzles had a fixed rating? maybe so

If you learn chess from beggining and step by step this puzzle is given to the student much later. Sacrifice puzzles and blunder win moves are an exception not a rule even in chess

Yes they are rerated now and I just saw it. Thanks

@darlihysa It was a question for me why some easy puzzles are overrated and some undrrated puzzles are harder and now I got it. Thanks!
