How hard is it to reach 2500 in tactics here? I am currently approaching 2000. Will cross 2000 in a couple of days. What is the level of puzzles at 2500 level? Are they too hard or complex? Can anyone send a puzzle of rating 2500 above?

Master the basic and simple tactics, as you progress you will know how to properly analyse a position. Finding best move on both sides is a must, there are many problems with interesting defenses and resources so you should be double checking your lines.

 

2500-2800 I think majority is an endgame problems, here's one example a 2873 rated problem:

In the 2873 rated problem is it Black to play or White to play?

For me, they are very difficult. Today I think I had 3 2700 rated problems. I got two wrong and one right. But the one I got right was 9 moves deep if I remember and it took me over 9 minutes to figure it out. I dont think I will be crossing 2500 any time soon. I wouldn't worry too much about rating when doing tactic problems. Just take your time and do the best you can. If you peak at 2200 that's still very good. Besides, chess.com allegedly has about 25 million members and a 2500 tactics rating puts you in an extremely high percentile, something like top couple thousand in the world.

I'm 1900 tactics rating and I noticed them suddenly getting much harder.

They were pretty easy back when I was 1600 rating. Everything was forced. They were either mating nets or forks or pins or skewers.

But now the tactics are becoming really difficult because things aren't forced. When you make a move, there's like 10 different responses that your opponent can choose, and you have to try to guess which one they'll do.

My guess is that the more you move up, the more open the board becomes. Tactics at the 2500+ level would involve really open boards with very few forced moves and hundreds of possibilities to calculate.

Well, 2800+ puzzles are quite hard to me. It took me 48 mins to solve this one.

2500+ are fit for a 1700-1900 player, and 2700+ are fit for a 2000-2900 player in real life. Hope this helps.

I'm at 2500 and to be honest they can be easy or hard. I'm 1600 rating wise and I can solve most of the 2500 rated puzzles but I was 2200 a few days ago but I just spent longer on puzzles and eventually I would find the solution. try and spend 2 minutes on each puzzle and it should be fine.

I just reached 2500... Reaching it isn't too hard but staying at that level is quite difficult...

I just hit 2500 puzzle rating but I'm only 900 rapid and high 800 blitz, is this normal or should I be higher rated? And if so what should my rating be
