puzzles: 2400-2600, depending if im a good or bad streak
rapid: 1450
Puzzle rating 2000, 10mins game rating 1500
My puzzle rating is 1100 higher than my rapid. Something went awry in the puzzle rating calculation. I have two friends over 3500. One is a master, but the other’s peak OTB rating is just under 2200.
so what in the world do i do then lol my puzzle is about 2600 but my rapid is 1400 ish
Consider yourself normal.
Solving puzzles primarily tests your tactical vision and calculation abilities, whereas playing games involves a broader range of skills, including opening preparation, positional understanding, and endgame knowledge. Your puzzle rating might be high because you excel in tactics, but other aspects of your game could be weaker.
actually 2000 puzzle rating for like 1500 rapid elo is very good. Just solve puzzles until like 3000 or 4000 and you'll get puzzles for 1500s or 1600s
I have a 1900-ish rapid rating and my puzzles is 3050. I decided to try to find a formula that can help calculate a person's tactics rating with their rapid. This is more of a rough calculation than a precise one. So you should give or take a few points from the result (up to 150 I suggest). Pr is puzzles rating, R is rapid rating and, n is 1/1000 of your actual puzzles rating
Here is the formula:
Pr= 5/3(R) - 1/15(R) + 11n
So, with my current rapid rating of 1891, we can infer that my puzzles should be around 2996. My highest puzzles is 3113 and my current puzzles (as of the time this was posted) is 3050. So it's not too far off.
It's a rather simple formula, I wish I had a good way to find accurate statistics to make a better one, this mostly works with players who have a rapid rating between 800 and 2400.
blitz: ~850 puzzle: 2100+
Is this the biggest gap of all? XD
