Doing it...
umm
The easiest way to get to 2250 is start solving puzzles rated 2300 or higher. I think the best way to do that is slow down. Someone once told me that if you are in a hurry, the best way to get something done quickly is to do it slowly.
Which means take your time. Get the puzzles right. If you get them right, your rating will increase. But ultimately puzzle rating doesn't matter. My puzzle rating is 2800 but I'm only a 1800 chess player.
ok thanks all
i will follow your advice

It's a shame there's no way to select the ratings of the puzzles though outside of practice mode. The average puzzle difficulty is always several hundred points below whatever one's current rating is. So if you get one wrong on the first move, it can offset the points from the last three you got right. To get a higher rating, one needs to get like 80% right while going slowly, or going more quickly and hoping the the time bonuses offset the higher error rate.
That's the way it should be. Penalties should be high, rewards should be low.
In a real game of chess the reward for finding the best solution for any particular position is very low. But the penalty of getting even the slightest thing wrong is severe. Often loss of the game.
I often get puzzles rated higher than my puzzle rating. The highest I remember getting is a little over 3,000. I even got one of them right. Which is amazing because it's hard to believe that I'm capable of solving a puzzle rated 3,000. BUT, given enough time, even an average player can solve a difficult puzzle. Grandmasters can do it in 20 seconds. It takes us 5 minutes. Or more.

Or more. Whatever it takes to get it right. I've spent over 10 minutes. And even then when I'm SURE it's right, I still get it wrong. It happens. We just aren't that good. But if you wait until you are SURE you are right, at least you'll get most of them right. Not all, but at least most.

we would get like +2 rating because that would be 0% speed bonus...
Exactly.
Jack Nicklaus, a famous golfer, once said worry about distance first, accuracy later. His point was do the difficult thing first, then worry about the fine tuning.
So when solving these puzzles what's the most difficult thing? Getting the answer right, or the time? If you focus on the time, you will never develop the skills to get the answer right.
So, get the answer right, no matter how long it takes. THEN you will have the skills to do them faster.

I am quite new to the puzzles thing but I do spend over 5 minutes on most puzzles. +3 is simply more attractive then -12.
But more important, I think I train the good stuff. I play to much blitz and I notice that I move to fast in rapid. So With my puzzles I CCT first my opponent, then myself. Then I start solving the puzzle.
My flaw is that I don’t calculate deep enough. Working on it :-).
