Is there any relation between tt rating and elo rating? 

tt rating - 1600

elo-1365

As your own ratings have "proven", no, there isn't.

You are probably one of the all-time most frequent users of Tactics Trainer. With 14,752 attempts, you have probably memorized a lot of the problems. All that practice doesn't seem to be getting you anywhere.

There is no way for me to say why other than looking at the obvious. According to my calculations, you average 25 seconds per problem. At the 1600 level, that seems like a very fast average unless your average is skewed because you have actually memorized a lot of problems that you can solve in 2 seconds. My own average is 65 seconds per problem and I have a 63.6% pass rate versus your own 45.3% pass rate.  Perhaps you need to spend more time on each problem.

You probably need the same approach when you play games. It's good that you are playing standard control games. Do you use most of the time available to you? Unlike Tactics Trainer, there are no ELO points for playing signicicantly faster than the time control.

Keep trying. I think you need to play a lot more regular games and use all or most of the time you have. (You really haven't played very many here. At least not compared to the number of tactics trainer problems!)

You had a clear win in that last standard game you played against the 1575. You would have solved it without a problem if it was a TT problem:

thx so much notmtwain

adumbrate

I would say Yes, I was 2100 tactics and 1700 bullet

I looked up pawn structures, and now I am 2000 bullet, just because we focus on tactics doesnt mean that its rating is too high. We need to realise that we do not have a strategy rating of 2100 aswell you know. People forget this

Meh.

A good friend of mine is 2300 tactics and has yet to break 1800 U.S.C.F.

I am 1840 U.S.C.F. and have only barely crossed 1900 tactics before (I reset my TT rating since then).

Tactical strength? Yes, to some extent. But TT is not the best tactics engine, and it doesn't seem to be too closely correlated to Elo.

adumbrate

read my post

thx guys

The equation is approximately this:

TT - one billion = elo

Hope that helps :D

It wasn't meant as a burn. The number of attempts simply astounded me and this caused me to reflect further and to examine one of his games.  I believe it was helpful.

Speaking about memorization. Sometimes it's the only way to overcome  a puzzle. Some puzzles are very hard to solve for such short time even if you solved them in past. Unfortunately i don't have a good memory to memorize all such puzzles and i'm losing points again and again. I know for sure that i've solved it already but can't recall exact moves.

Yes, there is a relation. For example: a super-GM will not have a <1000 TT rating.
