Yes this week they were easier for whatever reason.

Yeah this week was really easy. I calculated today's one and didn't even bother inputting it because I knew I was right.

This week it's even more pathetic. Just look at the title of today's daily puzzle.

Lmao it literally gives the answer away as if it wasn't easy enough 😂

Or you're just getting better, ever think of that? No? Okay, makes sense.

Today's was a good one. Took me like 2 mins to see it because I was trying to make a more natural line work

#9 no it's not that. Literally M1 for monday, and obvious brilliant sacrifices (you can spot it in a few seconds that it's the only move) for sunday.

#10 yeah today's daily puzzle was tricky, the sniper between the bushes 🔥

Today was the first time I solved a saturday puzzle first try no hints. Now I'm not sure if the puzzles are easier or if I got better. I guess I'll delude myself into believing the latter.

Another one where the title gives it away. I remembered the position after they said it was Hikaru

I thought I was the only one who was noticing a sudden drop in difficulty. It's good to know that I'm not going crazy. Yet.

Last week's Friday puzzle had already made me a little suspicious of how easy they were (and not just because, as mentioned previously, the title completely gave away the answer), but then the Sunday puzzle came along and had me completely confused because of how outrageously easy it was. I'm usually downright terrible at endgame puzzles, so the fact that I figured out the whole thing in just five seconds is...something, to say the least.

I agree, I use to rarely solve Sunday puzzles, but Mondays are mate and one for the last few weeks, and I understand a lot of low elo players want to do daily puzzles but that’s what custom level or rated puzzles are for, daily puzzles should be extreme challenges you sit down with.
