I'm an 800 rapid player and have only been playing chess for a few months on here now. used to be decently rated but my Puzzle rating ranges from 1600-1900. I'm trying to figure out what this means and wether I have potential to rise above my rapid rating. If anyone can give me any help, that would be much appreciated. all the best.

Puzzle rating does not directly correlate with your other ratings.  Everyone should have a puzzle rating far above the others.  But how much higher varies person to person.

I love puzzles, they definately help me.

A puzzle rating of +1000 compared to your real rating is not unusual. Going far above that is difficult.
