is this the new normal?

hjkl: i dont know about y'all, but fer sum reason, im only getting like 3 points for every puzzle i complete... and i still lose around 20... it used to be 5, but changing it to 3 is just disgraceful!

hjkl: yall have this as well?

It used to do that for me on my old account yes not right now at least because its only New person puzzles lol

hjkl: oh, wow. i guess then. although, they didnt say anything about getting less points than usual...

Try changing your puzzle Difficulty setting to Hard or Extra Hard if you want more points on a successful puzzle.

Yeah the new puzzle system is an outrage

I will say that the default puzzle difficulty is now probably too easy for most players.

I can guess why you set it that that way (most games are lost on easy tactics, not hard ones); but I don't think this has been communicated well, and harder puzzles are just more fun.

Your largest loss on a puzzle since the change was 11

wow! i think because u to good at chess and they give u less points for easier puzzles!

hjkl: aight, thanks then guys....

Try xtra hard! It gives you more! 🙃

hjkl: aight! i have that on now! 😅

Wait qwerty you are back?, I thought you left

hjkl: ya did!?

Hmm

I went from Hard — > Standard —> Extra Hard and am now earning 4 or 5/puzzle

Possibly bc I’m only 1500 :river:

hjkl: well shucks!
