~5,000 mate in 2s today on chess king clearly isn't enough.

Wow! I was proud of myself for 482 on chess tempo the other day. Then thought they were too asy and made a harder set.

Yeah, sometimes I feel these puzzles are too easy, and then I remember that if they are supposedly so easy, I shouldn't have too much difficulty just solving all of them, right? There's only "so many apps" to go through anyways, I tell myself. Keep training! I also enjoyed using chesstempo quite a bit, some years ago, and remember one day or more like yours.

What's your finishing time?

Well, I am much slower on my harder set. Not sure if I should go back to easier or build up my time on this harder set. I am nowhere near fast with this new set. 140 minutes, 200 positions, 81% correct. Average 81% correct. 42 seconds per puzzle on average.

On the easy set I had 484 positions with 98% correct in 139 minutes. About 17 seconds per puzzle.

There is definitely room for improvement. Guess I'll keep on slogging with this harder set.

It turns out I still had a premium membership on Chess Tempo that I had forgotten about. Only one more month left.

Thanks! I'd love to, however I'm just not strong enough yet. More puzzles time! Chess king says I've solved 137,700 puzzles so far, measuring on this account/phone, for the last 2-3 months or so.
