Giving up on puzzle solving

Hey Chess.com puzzle solving is sometimes satisfying, but the way it’s skewed to punish the player is off, way off. Get it right +5 woohoo! Get it wrong -15
Stupid feature. I’ll stick to the daily puzzles from now on.

You do not have to solve puzzles with rating. There ate custom puzzles. You can choose theme or difficulty range.

Puzzle solving also relates to the time taken. If you solve it faster than the target time, you can also get +15. If you take longer than it should, you will only score +5

Thanks. I’ll look at custom puzzles

The reason you might lose more points for a wrong answer than you gain for a correct one is to ensure that your puzzle rating isn't artificially inflated by solving easier puzzles. This method helps keep your rating accurate and ensures you are consistently challenged.

I love puzzles but I agree the rating is messed up

Too discouraging. Deleting chess and trying another app
