ya- where do they get their tactics stuff - that must have taken a
time to makeWhere does chess.com get their daily puzzles??
Sort:
I figured they had a sorting algorithm for GM games and picked out positions where someone went from say, +1.01 to -3.00 or some critical shift like that, and then humans checked over them to see if they were useful.
Totally guessing though. Many of the positions do come from real games. A few of them are memorizable opening or endgame traps. And some are clearly artificial, but not many.

I think you nailed it... at least this is what I assume too anyway.
They pay GM's 2$ an hour to come up with them. Living the chess dream!

I am completely full of shit.
Lol but that would be pretty good just to make a little extra money by doing something you love
I suppose I should be honest....
I AM THE SOURCE!
They have so many, and I'm wondering who does them and how they've kept up with it for all these years
