Why are puzzles so easy?

Recently the normal puzzles have seemed really easy, and I can easily get streaks of over 20 and get a ton of points, but I haven't got much better, the puzzles just seem a lot easier.

I did notice that too.......

Yeah, I can get up to a 95% win rate, because once you get to the top level, they are just repeats all the time, and I remember all the answers. So I can breeze through a 4000+ puzzle in 10 seconds.

i can get up to 12..............but they are all very easy still.......

FluffySausage

I mean, I get a streak of 12, but they are easy, cause I am a slight beginner but, if you get the same types of puzzles as me, its kinda weird......

Sorry if y'all don't get that......

John_15-13

Oh also the puzzle system is rigged for beginners.

John_15-13

The whole points thing I mean.

FluffySausage

yeah, cause I am like 1200 rated, when I am not the best at puzzles, which is crazy!

John_15-13

Well, puzzle ratings very much do not equal standard ratings.

FluffySausage

very true.........

bjg1000

Yes, I am not 3000 rated…

John_15-13

Yeah, I'm not 5500 rated...

(Which is my old rating, they reset it for some reason)

I noticed as well, there seems to be some bug. It keeps giving puzzles that are +1k points below the users puzzle rating and you can get large streaks. Gotta try to push for a pb before they fix it 😂

I haven't noticed anything super unusual.

Yh, that's what I mean lol and then you lose 30 rating if you get one wrong

FluffySausage

thats extremely silly!

Solve puzzles on lichess or chesstempo; they're the best sites for solving puzzles.
Chess dot com just wants to boost your ego with lies. It's unfortunate when you see very easy puzzles, many of which have a 3000 rating.

well you have gotten around 900 puzzle points in the last week so maybe those -30 losses aren't that impactful.

Also your average time to solve a puzzle is around 3 seconds, so your probably refreshing the page to reset the timer to get more points per solve, which is cheating

I used to do that...

No, I haven't, the puzzles are just very easy for some reason, so I see them pretty much straight away
