I was 2000 in rapid and 4000 in puzzles, now I'm still 2000 but 2200-2350 in puzzles. Thats fine tho.
Estimated Elo of a player vs puzzle rating?
Puzzle rating and playing rating are related, but they are not the same thing.
In general, a player’s puzzle rating is usually higher than their actual playing Elo. This happens because puzzles are focused on one clear tactical idea, and you already know that there is a winning move. In real games, you have to find tactics without that hint, while also managing time, strategy, and psychology.
Very roughly:
Beginners often have a puzzle rating 300–600 points higher than their playing rating
Intermediate players might have a difference of 200–400 points
Strong players usually see the gap become smaller
However, there is no exact conversion between puzzle rating and Elo. A high puzzle rating means you are good at recognizing tactics, but it doesn’t automatically mean you will play at that level in real games.
Puzzle rating is best seen as a training indicator, not a true measure of playing strength.
