Easy!
translation - I am soooo much better than you.
translation - It took me hours to solve it but you don't know that.
translation - I couldn't solve the puzzle but I know how to annoy you.

Personally I am very impressed when I come across the word "Easy" in reference to the daily puzzle. It makes me admire the person who wrote it. I begin to look up to them as a god or at least a demi-god of chess. I begin to frequent their home page, wondering if I should message them and beg them to be my mentor, my teacher, my master. Oh! That I might study under them.
Easier said than done for people who are endowed with "innate chess talent" or braggadocios! Take your pick! (lol)

That seems to be the standard response to daily puzzles. More often then not, people responding with that have really low ratings.. I don't understand. If it was so easy, why is your rating 1100?
Perhaps, I'm bitter because I suck at puzzles.
couldn't agree more.
maybe they are trying to solve the puzzle by trial in error tel they got it hahahahhahahahahahahahahahha

It seems to me that the Sunday puzzles are much easier (relative term) than all the other days.....this must be intentional.... I wonder why??
they start really easy on Sundays and get progressively harder through the week (that is the theory anyway).

I really get annoyed by people who posts "1", "First", or worst of all "FIRST, THAT WAS EASY". who are you racing ppl? even though you never figured it out you WILL post FIRST. geez, what is with you? I'm cool by the way =P lol
Don't read the 1000 lameo posts and you'll never know what they say!
You should look at their tactics ratings. For example, there's about a 500-point discrepancy between my tactics rating and live chess rating (at long time controls). And both of these ratings are stable, not provisional ratings.

I so agree with this rule. It really upsets me that pretenciuous people saying "easy" but nothing more.
Big difference from solving a puzzle one move at a time with the computer telling you when you're on the right track, and solving it in your head before trying it.
I consider a puzzle easy if a bumbling fool like myself can solve it in my head by looking for the best sequence of moves.
I never miss the daily puzzle, it's fantastic.
When I need more, or more difficult ones, www.chessproblems.com is where it is at. No membership required. Although you have to find the good puzzles from the stupid/unlikely ones.
but it is easy! you press the solution button and then refresh...
What about Sunday puzzles?
People saying easy at puzzles aren't the one's that annoy me, it's the one's who say "first" within the same minute the puzzle is put on. Like hell are they actually doing the puzzle, they're just sad people refreshing their screens until the puzzle comes up so they can be the first to post on it. Sad, sad people!
anyone can say it's easy. Some people know a specific way or just find the move. I don't see why we ca't say easy. I would understand nobody saying easy(because 1 word) and stupid really but sometimes it is easy.
This annoys me no end, but I think the rule should be extended to all players, to all you "easiers."
1) Typing this is in no way helpful, firstly it adds nothing to anyone's understanding of the puzzle.
2) Secondly, if you found it easy, who cares??? We've got no proof that you even did it.
However the worst by far is the "too easy" commenters who obviously are of the opinion that no skill level exists out there except their own.

I hope we're going fully international on this, and barring comments like: 容易! Gemakkelijk! Facile ! Einfach! Εύκολος! 쉬운! Fácil! Легко! ¡Fácil!
lol
