What happened to the puzzle ratings??

The last time I checked I think my puzzle rating showed 2680ish a few days ago.  This morning I got 1 wrong, the only one I tried today, then when I checked to see my rating it showed my peak as 21something. Did the site tinker with the rating system?

It's showing this weird mess. Why would it drop so much from 1 puzzle? I'm still getting 85% right. I guess I'm missing something.

It did not drop because you got puzzle wrong. Read the article, please

Thank you. I'm glad they're redoing the ratings because the ratings were wildly unrealistic, I'm certainly not 26something in tactics. I'm hoping they're more real world related now.

Restore my rating, or I'm done with chess.com.

And they wonder why I won't pay for a subscription anymore?

It's much better now, the ratings are way more reliable/realistic.

Good change, but they didn't have to take that many points did they? D;

There is no point to have 4.5k in puzzles

And 45k as well...

Those crazy ratings (5000 or whatever) got to where they didn't make any sense.

Everyone's rating was recalculated using the new algorithm against their previous performance against the re-rated puzzles.

Makes sense, but I have been trying the new puzzles, and seems they are quite easy for my new rating level. I don't think I will have a problem getting close to 3k in the new system, making the deduction feel a bit arbitrary and inaccurate

So this site thinks my tactics ability is in the 2100s?

I understand why chess.com did it, but if you want to touch my ratings then you’ll have to fight me for it. Chess.com, this is war. I’m genuinely considering joining Lichess if this buffoonery continues any longer.
