Hi guys

have a question

how high tactic points are considered good? in good i mean above 80% peoples rating

and is 1500 good? it's better than my blitz score grin.png

Tactics ratings on this site are terrible, and most likely horribly inflated, way too high. 

The tactics problems are really good, but the rating system might as well not exist, for how bad it is.

 why is it like that? can't they fix it?

Unfortunately, they don't fix it... 

You can skip tactics you don't like, and keep your rating, which is ridiculous.

Yeah, they can fix it.

But the purpose of chess.com is to maximize money, not to maximize a member's chess improvement. Maybe they decided higher ratings encourage people to keep using it.

I just look at the tactic rating as a way to see if you improve or not, the number itself can't really be measured up against anything...
