does puzzle elo correlate to actual elo

No, puzzle ratings have nothing to do with actual elo.

Puzzles train you for tactics. Some chess players focus on tactics more so they usually have a higher puzzle rating. Some players focus on opening theory, endgame theory, etc so they usually have a low puzzle rating. So if you ask me the puzzle rating depends on which type of player you are, so there is no typical xyz puzzle rating for xyz rating.

Elo was invented FOR chess but does NOTHING to "measure chess." It is used in many games and sports. The ratings in Puzzles are kinda hilarious if i am 2006 at anything. 🤣

Both ratings are strongly correlated with your tactical ability. If you improve your puzzle rating then your Rapid rating will follow. However, there are two major differences. For every puzzle there is a tactic to find and it's almost always a winning tactic but in a match, you have to determine if there's a tactic to find alongside finding it. Also, aside from Puzzle Battle, you have as long as you like to find the tactic whereas in a match you have to use your time efficiently. It's typical for players to report having a much higher puzzle rating so don't read too much into your puzzle rating. 1000 points higher than your rapid rating seems to be quite common.

.

Have you spotted a player with a tactics rating of more than 50000?

.

As of the time of writing, at least five global players have a rating of exactly 65540. Will their actual playing rating be close to that?

The conclusions here are correct and also obvious. High is good. Low is worse. Get better at Tactics get better at chess. Compare the numbers means nothing becuase it is a different pursuit.

Agreeing w/ them, Im rated 600 rapid but my chess puzzle rating is 1660. I have no idea what my chess puzzle rating means

Its true puzzles can be resolved with excessive time, computer ( why one would do ???). The more you train the better you get, though some inactivity time might cause you to temporarily loose ratingpoints that you regain provided you practise more. I call it braintraining and its actual good for improving your tactical ability over the board but then you might need to do tens a day. Its good to get your focus back prior to any game.

The issue with it , is that its too focused on winning and allbeit using too much forced moves, much less on overcoming loss , picking the right defensive combinations. Its occassionally about endings but for sure not about strategy to employ from your opening of choice or general strategical motives. Whereas in an actual game these occassions are not plenty, and nor you get any assurance that there is a tactic for you to discover in OTB games with normal tournament time conditions . So its always much more tricky, in a game and requires more time to go through all the possible sidelines. At tounament conditions you have on average 2.5 to 3 minutes. Thats not much if the puzzles you practise go beyond that average time and your cslculations are not mature enough or very slow to detect patterns.

I have 1450 blitz here at chess.com, puzzles at 2700+

At lichess 1930 blitz , puzzles 2275--2475 range.

At chess tempo mixed 1700 (with time penalty for "excessive" time consumption only) and the speed variation with agressive response time requirements , but somehow 300 elo lower rated puzzles.There I have 1600 which tells me I'm comparatively slow.

My fide rating is 1830.

you mean "A little correlation" i guess? not "little correlation"

Not necessarily.

Puzzles helps me with tactics but I still need to work on my positional skills while applying them to real game

2 opposite statements read: 'chess is 80% tactic' and 'problem solving gives you 50 more elo avg'.

My tactic problems are 2000 other chesscom rating under 1200. Not paying member, arenas top 5%. Only levelling on unlimited 'sprint' at 2450+.

How can elo vary so much, I'm working on comprehend since long and think more and more is the 'being part of' that is missing me as in other skills. Also relative to the chore it is to asserve intel to a couple of games.

Imo proper elo can be more than pure rank, championship or competition; for goodness of sport, game, spirit. IQ though its dark origin appears more inclusive.

No correlation. Actually, your rapid elo any chess.com elo does not correspond with your elo. It's ranking system is flawed, so it probably shows you a far lower rating than FIDE would give you

Positive correlation, averaged over all players on the site, yes, of course. But how much is not clear. I wouldn't overestimate it, because general understanding, blunder frequency, strategic skills, opening knowledge and mindset stability etc etc are also influencing the rating

Its also about age. I'm nearby 57 and in slow chess I can add in all, my Opening knowledge, my notions of Strategy, Strategy coming forward of my openings, Basic Endings , Tactics requiring extensive calculations and visualisations ...

I admit I'm no longer fast enough for bullet/blitz and am about 350 ELO "underrated" on chess.com compared to my slow OTB /Fiderating . When playing young people training a lot on blitz, I face much difficulty to get my skills into play as I calculate way to slow and have a rather high % of games by loosing on time or not have enough time to mate the opponent in a totally winning position. It is what it is. As to young blitzers, they would also suffer in a slow OTB game as they have far too little skills in the strategy part. I had a heavy discussion with a younger player on the very existance of strategy. To him you come out of the opening and need to consistently go for tactics once the pieces are developped untill the known endings. I referred him to middlegame books and strategical positioning and manoevring, combinatory gameplay before getting into tactical motives. Weird !!! . Youbg players even go into whatever shortsighted tactic on every occassion and if the tactic is detected they are out of position. Stupid. I see that regulary in OTB games that younger players don't understand the strategy of the opening they are playing. I also see the majority exchange on every occassion there is an exchange opportunity. Silly. thats one of the arease where I reinforce the coordination of my pieces cause I am 90% certain, the exchange is there to come and benefit from it.

So indeed nothing correlates and age and the speed of calculations influences your rating a lot the less time there is to spend. A Fide rating is composed of a lot of skills. You need to train in all aspects of the game. Don't overfocus in one area and especially work on you weakest part (e.g. endgames). And if you really want to know what your strength OTB. Enroll to a Chess Club and go for it ! Many did it before and when looking back at their online chess, most prefer playing OTB.

You may still use online chess to practice or for trainingpurposes or even for fun . Though OTB and Fide Rated games is the real stuff for me and another sensation ! Walking in a tournament room with over 600 players is really another sensation then some online chess game even a chess arena tournament online.
