Since the past 1 month my tactics rating is has been fluctuating between 1600 and 1700. I am getting the same puzzles repeatedly. What is the reason for this?
Does it throw back tactics you got wrong initially? If so that's a good thing surely? Ive been fluctuating between 1200 and 1250 for what feels like months!

I've done a lot of puzzles on this site, and i see repeated ones quite a bit. I kind of like it. The concept of the solution kind of sinks in more. I have been fortunate to make use of those ideas during games when similar situations have come up.
I remember you made an article a while ago saying your chess wasn't improving and you wanted to give up but I see u haven't and I'm glad your getting better and still playing chess😊
to make sure if you can still solve it
it is good practice to do the same thing everyday
that way you know how to do it and get better at it too.
that the same reason is why people brush their teeth everyday
Because there are only a limited number of positions in the game of chess where tactics are needed.
do you like solving it
I agree with others. I don't mind the repeats as sometimes I still get them wrong. Which tells me I'm not remembering them. Repeats might help with pattern recognition aswell. You never know.
Peace to all except OTB.

If you view your stats for tactics it lists the problems you got wrong with a red cross. What has only just become apparent to me is that It's fine to try these again - even after you've used up your 5 goes! The list only covers the last week or so of tactics but I think I'll start reviewing the ones I got wrong to try and improve...

Alex: "At a high enough rating there are only a few hundred puzzles, so out of necessity the puzzles repeat."
So THAT'S how people are getting these enormous tactics ratings, I see.
I'm currently crushing somebody in two games who's 2400+ in tactics. His rating didn't help him.
