Woot! Tactics Rating 2500!! hehe! (probably too lucky, I feel that I will drop soon)  

 

 

With the new scoring system, 2500 is the old 2300....so you are going to need another 200!

I get about +200 in one month! Lol!

New system favours those who have higher accuracy. I have about 65% correct score/accuracy. 

For those who have 50% correct score, new system wont give you anything.

I would try

1. Bb6 Qxb6

2. Nxd5 Nxd5

3. Qxd5 White gain one centre pawn, other than that, I dont see any other better forced move!

 

 

Black gets the pawn back with Rb8. So thats not the defect in black's position, but you get points if you saw the moves without relying on being told its a tactical position . Supposedly its that the c-pawn becomes a passed pawn after all of that, while blacks kingside pawn majority is blockcaded.

 

I checked with SF today.I am very happy that SF agreed 1. Bb6 as best move. It is possible that I might play 1. Bb6 (50% chance) in 30 mins rapid game or longer.( I wont play 1.Bb6 in bullet or blitz though). The reason is that " position is not quiet, you are forced to think tactics".

There was only three tactical lines I considered,

1. Bb5+,  not good.

2. Bxe5, not good

3. Bb6, very risky .But look like it works due to multiple hanging pieces from black.

This is clearly overrated cos most free members are not interested in taking 5 free tactics per day seriously.

 

When I compare it with other ranking, my  bullet ranking is around 260 and my blitz ranking is around 360 in Australia.( blitz is the most reliable rating indicator).

Black just moved be7 to bc5 to chase the queen....but where will it go?

 

Avatar of drmrboss

Hmm, I could not find a forced win for white.

1.Bxf6 Bxd4 2. Rxd4  Rd8 (Failed sac)

1. Simply 1.Qd3 would be the best chance to win strategically. Black likely to lose.

Wow! This become a reality, 2600! I neglect the clock and think seriously. In this last 2800+ puzzle, their target time is 0:45. I took 7 minutes but still get +7 .( double marks with new rules).

Avatar of drmrboss

Dammed I am not getting back 2400 tactics over there again.

As there is no time limit, the difficulty of those 2400-2500  standard puzzles are approx equal to 2800-2900 time pressure puzzles here.

Yeah, that might be the new rules, but the only one you'd be fooling is yourself. Thats why Im tapering off tactics since Im taking too long. If you look at what everyone around you is doing is getting them right at least 50% quicker...and a lot of times 75%+ quicker.

Omg, It took me 48 mins to solve this one!

I understand taking more time to get tactics right, because usually the target time is totally unreasonable and 3 or 4 minutes is about what could be expected in a real game. But it seems to me 48 minutes defeats the whole purpose. In a real game you would lose on time  in just a few moves if it took you 48 minutes per move. Why not try for a few minutes then just guess? I know guessing doesn't work out very well in tactics trainer but in a real game, guessing works out well pretty often. Isn't the whole point of tactics trainer to get better at real games?
