Do you know if C.c or anyone has done any sort of comparison between TT rating and chess playing ratings? Like, say average TT vs Rapid ratings...
It would seem easy enough for chess.com to do on its own. We don't have access to the database to make such queries.
I work a lot at that tactics trainer.I got about 50 procent right .Some are easy and some are pretty tough to solve.But it is a good way to learn about chess.Very helpful.
There is another popular site for tactics which will give you an estimated ELO based on your tactics performance, but you have to be a paying member.
My routine is as follows:
Play rapid chess 15.10 as much as one can.
do some tactics
See at the forum if there is anything funny or interesting or whatever.
Play some music or do other stuff.
Cheers

Anyone else notice a difference in the TT scoring? Maybe its just me but it seems like there's a stronger relationship between points won/lost and difficulty. Lately I've noticed getting only a single point for simple problems.. and losing huge (like 20+) for missing them, and the opposite for hard problems.. big gains for solving them and little (and sometimes zero) loss for missing them. I don't know because I turned the timer off a few days ago so maybe I'm just solving puzzles differently now. Whatever it is, it's less frustrating now for sure..

I noticed a big improvement when I started focusing on my plus score instead of my rating. Like I would rather get it right over 5 minutes (and get 20% credit) than get it partially correct (i.e. wrong) and get 50% credit.
Believe it or not, I used to be at -50 or something, and now I am at +898.

you would think so, but I just checked mine, and if I'm reading correctly, most of the problems I'm getting are well below my rating..

There are numerous players who have much higher winning percentages than me (I am barely over 50%), but much lower ratings. I don't understand that.

Please provide examples.

Plus score is number correct - number incorrect.
It is eminently plausible that two players can both have 50% success rates but have vastly different ratings. New problems are not picked randomly.

I don't want to mention names, but one of my opponents has a tactics rating of 1105 but has passed 632 of 1033 tries (61.2%). Another has a tactics rating of 1059 but has passed 252 of 450 tries (56%).
I didn't know some people spend 10 minutes on a problem. Generally I allow myself up to one minute.
You should keep in mind that Percentage correct does not reflect the tactic percentage. I could be 1000 for 1000 and show 100% but score only 20% minimum for each of these tactics due to time. While my percentage correct is perfect, at some point, I'm not going to gain tactic rating for solving a problem with 20% (or maybe just get 1 point). Someone who gets 750 out of 100 but got 100% on their 750, would likely end up with a much higher tactic score. Just my thoughts. . . .
What is a average pecentage at the end of a Tactics Trainer session? I usually score some where between 40 and around 51or 52 percent. At first I thought it could be average because after all Ted Williams batted .344 and Babe Ruth was .342. I looked up on Compubox and they said the average total connect percentage for both Jabs and Power shots combined was 30 percent. What is it for Chess Tactics?
