I'm stuck at solving puzzles how do you improve this ability?....

Hey! recently realized "how" I'm stuck, but the "why" still evades me...

So what happens is I got to a level in puzzles (2000ish) where it takes me like 10-15 minutes to solve a puzzle (not great, I know)... If I succeed, hooray, if I don't I get so tilted I can't even explain.. like more than a game (!) , to fail a puzzle where you actually tried to calculate the entire thing before playing move 1, or to fail on some move order on a later move... it breaks my spirit, really.

So if I fail one puzzle I just can't attempt more (the tilt affects my ability), and if I try to go at it more intuitively I just fail and succeed about 40 / 60%, so I decrease the rating slowly if I go like that..

So please share tips at improving puzzle solving skills happy.png

Meditation at best, xanax at worse friend

probably shouldn't take the outcome of a single puzzle so personal

you know, when we are wrong, thats when we can learn, zen master style, be the puzzle my friend be the puzzle

as im posting this the OP is doing a puzzle battle 😂

lol maybe I exaggerated ... Meditation sounds good... Just feel really dumb after getting puzzles wrong I do normally try to continue solving... Just I'm stuck at this level for a while and I don't understand why all aspects of my game are improving slowly but puzzles and tactics seem stuck
