You do realize that the guy you're talking about memorized all the puzzles and probably skips the ones he doesn't know?
That's how he "solves" 3000+ rated tactics in 8 seconds.
worlds best tactician
Sort:
His ratings at Blitz, Bullet etc. are not bad but nothing special either.
If he was really that great of a tactician he would have a much higher rating.
As Cherub said, his way of "solving" those tactics is fishy.

There's definitely not a million of them. I'd be surprised if there were more than say, 15K puzzles in total.
I've been getting duplicates about 1/10 times, and I've only completed like 300 tactics.
But that's not just it - the fact that you can skip tactics you don't like is enough by itself.

I think I have like 300 hours of tactics trainer under my belt. I've definitely come across the same ones. I've also definitely gotten ones wrong that I once got right. I do think the concept of the solution sinks in more when you see them again. I've been fortunate to make use of those ideas during games
Wow!
I like chess puzzles more than I like playing. It's great to see someone get such a high rating.
