Puzzle rating, bug?

I have 2500 rating now, I had 2600, but after changing to extra hard, I started getting 2200, 2650 rating puzzles, now it seems to much and I am going down. 
No problem at least I will go down to the rating I should be and not a lie. 

That's a good attitude! I have so far gotten only one over 2000 rated puzzle (all have been over 1000 rated now) after switching to extra hard, I failed on that one because I thought it was even a more complicated one than it was. I had actually completed it correctly before. Lol. I'm still hanging with 2500 elo. But the harder challenges feel better for sure. I am like u - I rather have a rating I feel I deserve than super high elo without that feeling.

Hello motorola phone hi 🤠

But to be honest the hardest ones for me are still the low rated long ones. So I'm actually avoiding the hardest ones for me with having extra hard setting. To avoid that awful feeling of embarrassment after failing a low rated one. So basically I prefer feeling pleasant over too much pressure. In that sense I feel cowardly, but I feel also that I am done with reappearing standard ones and need variety to continue so extra hard it is.

I think the puzzles follow a rating range from in which order the chess lessons occur because all the situations seem to come up in lessons. Some of the beginner lessons include specific endgame tactics that you gotta memorize to get right. Sure professional chess players probably know all of them by heart, but beginners can make one wrong move and get harsh minus points. What chess pros consider hard can be totally different than what others consider hard.

I personally like to practice endgame tactics in lessons & unrated custom department. Doing them in normal puzzles is daunting.

The logic of my brain: complicated things to learn = hyper focus 💡 Basics = brain goes to sleep 😴

This has been the story of my life in so many things. I want to skip to the most complicated department & I find it most interesting. But I'm really trying now to stay awake for the basics too. Not to skip something important. I'm grateful for the lesson challenges here because I simply can't stay awake reading a chess book. Also the lesson department is the least addictive department of this app. There's no rush or visible dopamine points after every lesson or any feeling of competition. Only if you go check out stats you can see how many u have completed. I think it is the best department to maintain mental health in this competitive environment + learn. Thank you very much chess com for providing lessons!

The constant +5 -17 is soulbreaking.

Even on Extra Hard i am only getting puzzles 700 rating below my shown rank.

I am not interested in common chess at all, i am not trying to prepare for games, i just liked puzzles before. I am not a good chess player at all.

But with the growing skew of gains and losses per puzzle developers hard-force me in doing puzzle rush survival only. Because if i have a break in doing puzzles for a while, and then return - i lose months worth of rank gains in mere minutes.

Anagnina, I totally get your frustration. Strength to you. Find joy with unrated custom puzzles to avoid more elo loss if that worries you. Also so you can choose there a specific difficulty range that actually works. There's still the crown system that gives 3 crowns if completed on first try. Don't focus on the rating, it's already great. I think I would personally stop with rated puzzles if I ever got to 3000 like you. Then only do 3000+ custom ones occasionally. To keep feeling deserving of 3000. Not sure if I will ever get there or even seriously try. We will see. So yeah great job getting there 👏
