You get 2-3 wrong and you're already in the hole 30-40 points.. This is insane and idiotic. Thanks for wasting my time.

I went to the the supermarket yesterday and tried to spend my Tactics Training points. They didn't accept them!
Seriously, who gives a &^#%??

Try some tactics on other sites and then tell me whether chess.com TT is hard or frustrating.

@ciarli
Probably because you have a very low rating.
Never played a chess game on this website, never will.
Come to think of it will probably never play a chess game again.

newardweaden I know one website (which I won't mention its name that's why I put it in parentheses for the mod to see it so it doesn't get deleted) chess.com isn't the hardest website for puzzles there are other website that are harder but they are popular as well.
Getting partial reward for getting at least some moves correct as oppose to failing the puzzle for making an incorrect final move makes chess.com's TT quite a pleasant experience tbh.
fantasy - please get a dictionary and look up sarcasm.

I think I was happiest with tactics trainer when I had a premium membership for one year. During that year I turned off the ratings, and just solved the problems. If I got it wrong, no points lost. If I got it right, no points gained. But my tactical vision improved. And that's what it's about anyway.
Wow fantasychesspro, nice forums u got there. How bout u go kid about your life somewhere else
I think I should address the fact that this was a troll forum. I meant it as a troll forum some people got fooled some didn't it was all in good fun anyways it got some attention but now it's not getting that much attention anymore. My first troll forum did the best honestly. But I meant every word in this forum but intended to have it as a forum to see how would people react. But I'm not 17 a little younger than that. And also my otb was also a lie I never play over the board but now hopefully I will be able to. I just played one tournament the starting rating is pretty shameful so I won't post it I was sick at the time and had the worst performance of my life just unimaginable. Anyways if you made it this far I hope I didn't take much of your time this forum was just for fun. Feel free to comment what you want.
So, I am the troll here??
