''This is rated too high'' - ''overrated'' Funny how people here argue about many problems in the tactics traines because they are rated so high. Think abut the puzzles, don't be so obsessed of the ratings. So many people on chess.com are obessed of the ratings. If the tactic are so easy and simple just finish it. It's just a good practice to train simple chess tactics.

Your story has touched my heart. I will not call a tactic overrated. Not even once.

Yeah I've stopped worrying about my TT rating, just aiming to get them correct. Seems easier to get a high rating by guessing though.

I'm just amazed at the number of people who have time to stop and comment on the tactic. I'm usually just going on to the next one, not wasting time posting inane comments about it's being rated too high or too low or bragging that I got 100% or posting my current progress or any of that dreck.

I've got more than enough to worry about when it's white to move and the clock is running and I've got NO IDEA what to do.
