Puzzle Rush Survival Persistence Issue?

Hey, Chess.com community,

I've been enjoying Puzzle Rush Survival mode lately, but I've encountered what seems like a strange issue. I've noticed that when I start a Survival run and reach a certain level, if I log out and log back in from the same location, my progress is saved and I can continue from where I left off. However, if I log in from a different location, such as my dad's house, my Survival run doesn't carry over, and I have to start from scratch.

This inconsistency has left me wondering: Shouldn't Puzzle Rush Survival carry over from log-ins to log-ins, regardless of location? It seems odd that I can't continue my run if I log in from a different place.

I'm curious if anyone else has experienced this issue or if there's a specific reason for it. Is it a technical limitation or perhaps a deliberate design choice? It would be great to get some clarity on this matter from the Chess.com team.

Thanks for any insights or assistance!

Best regards,

Is it just from a different location or do you switch devices?

I change devices, I've got a specialised Eye-Gaze computer due to my Cerebral Palsy, and I've got my older device set up at my Dad's place.

Yeah, you would have thought...

It's a computer I can control with my eyes, just like a normal computer. But, there are a couple of things that I can't do/use with it because of the 'tweaked' version of Windows 10 they have put on all of the devices.

You solved 1,015 puzzles on your puzzle rush record.

Your buddy vrybot says you did it over a 3 day period.

So, please explain to the world, how were you able to solve 338 puzzles per day, for 3 consecutive days, without getting any wrong?

You must have slept those 3 days correct? Let's say you only slept 5 hours per night, which is 15 hours over 3 days. That leaves you with 57 hours to complete 1,015 puzzles, with 0 misses.

57 hours is 3,420 minutes.

Your average solve time would have to be 3.36 minutes.

So you were able to solve incredibly hard puzzles, consistently only using 3.36 minutes, for 3 days, without any misses.

There's a reason nobody believes you or your cheating buddy vrybot.

You should both close all of your accounts.

Firstly: thanks very much for sticking to the forum topic.

Secondly: I am a 28-year-old person with Cerebral Palsy. I'm in a power chair most of the day and can't do much other than be on my special Eye-Gaze computer. I'm on this site for over 8+ hours a day usually. I have done puzzles for a long time, and I tend not to play any Bullet, Blitz or Rapid games because (frankly) I get very much board with standard chess! I've started playing Rapid games to see if I can get my spark back for regular chess. I play odd unrated daily games, where I try out some unusual moves to see if they are good. Puzzles are very much my bread and butter when it comes to chess.

Thirdly: Chess.com knows about me and has semi-regular contact with me. They are happy with me and my outcomes in Puzzle Rush Survival.

Have a great day/night.

Thank you for your response.

I feel bad you are in the position you are in, it is truly unfair.

Regarding chess, you didn't really explain how you are able to outperform super GM's on puzzles, so the conclusion is you and vrybot cheat but will never admit to it.

Take care

Hey Joseph!
I have noticed that too but it's not only depending on the location but also on the digital device you use. I have two laptops, one for school and one private, and I can play two puzzle rushs at the same time with them. But I agree, it's a bit annoying sometimes.

In regards to the actual puzzles, I get in my runs, I get a lot of repeats after like 110 - 120s. After that I am in my element, I hardest part is (for me) 50 - 100 because of the large amounts of puzzles that show up in the area. Much more scattered vs. after 100+ Whenever I catch someone else doing Survival, they get a much larger array of puzzles in the area and the 100+ segments.

Even VryBot has noticed how many repeats he gets in the lower 100s... Imagine what it is like in the 500s...

same thing joseph

That is good to know it's not just me.
