PUZZLES

I made it through an entire tour of all the puzzle levels---Wood through Legend. Now I am back to wood. I have a few questions but first I want to share my experience on my 2'd time on Wood. Overall I like it but can be very tricky. It is different than the other puzzles. Instead of mainly looking for mates or other usual tactic problem solutions which we all have seen I have found you must take a different approach to most of these---which I like. They can be all so tricky but at the same easy. If you try rushing through these you will get burned. The correct solutions seem to be based more on .....trying to find a move to gain a slight advantage positionally or material. The point system seems to be more fairer as well. Now with my questions. 1. How many people have made the entire circle through and how many times? 2.Have you found on your 2'd time through that a different mindset is needed to solve?

Chess.com puzzles are bad. Do book puzzles

Overall I like them and the more I progress through them they seem to get better. Sure we all run through some of the same frustrations.....5 for correct, minus 20 for incorrect....solve in 8 seconds and only get 5 points.... finding a solution that they say is wrong but you still get the material in same number of moves but that is very rare. It gets better the more you progress. Books? That is ancient. I like that I can play games and puzzles on my phone which I always have with me and ca access 24/7.

Don't think the puzzles you get have anything to do with levels. Think it depends strictly on your rating. I'm also on wood 2nd time.
