Your puzzle ratings are through the Puzzles->Puzzles tab. You can try new ones and how you complete them affect your ratings.

Because you can get a much higher puzzle rating.  There are people with over 10,000 puzzle ratings.

Having a position where you know something is there, is much different than being able to create beneficial positions in games and recognize when they come up to calculate, then executing the moves with the clock ticking.

Puzzle ratings are commonly 600 or more higher.

Recall that tactics is only one function or component of chess which encompasses more disciplines.

Claramente ya tienes algo de habilidad en detectar tácticas y mates, intenta trabajar en tus debilidades por las que pierdes los juegos, por ejemplo yo sufría mucho en las aperturas y posteriormente entraba con desventaja al medio juego, pero practicando un par de aperturas sólidas y la experiencia frente a las trampas más comunes me ayudó a subir de 1100 a 1400 (aún me cuesta jugar aperturas con negras), así como otros conceptos como cuidar mi estructura de peones o saber cuando me conviene intercambiar piezas. Tal vez tengas problemas de tiempo (a mi me ayudó jugar cientos de partidas "Bala") o con otros conceptos (como control de casillas blancas/negras), si sabes inglés te recomiendo ver los videos educativos de Daniel Naroditsky y GothamChess en youtube, suerte!.

First: There are not ELO points in chess.com. Only fide can give you some wink.png Second: My highest rate in tactics was 2357, my highest in daily was 1683, so it´s just normal. Third: I´m absolutely not shure that you can compare these point ratings at all. You get only 5 points when you are slow, but solve the puzzle, you can get up to 13 points I think if you are quick. Sometimes you get one point even when you have the wrong solution. And you can play 10 tactics while you play one rapid game.... so, why do you bother? Instead of grumbling about points (which, to say the truth, are in fact pointles) I would recommend you do some additional trainings, then maybe your play ratings will go up.

thank you all for your tips, I really appreciate it. I'll try to improve my weaknesses, like study more openings and midgamesand also watch videos to improve

you´r welcome!

With your rating, I would recommend not to set too much focus on Openigs. It´s endless and does not help too much in understanding the game. Just stick to the golden rules, that will be enough for the beginning. But instead have a closer look into endgames.
