Player can do 100 puzzles and get a lot of points. During the same time same player will play significantly less rated games - so he will get less points. Assumption: he solved all puzzles and won all games.
Why is my Puzzles rating so much higher?

Maybe there is another reason why puzzle rating is so high.

Chess.com puzzle ratings have absolutely nothing to do with real ratings.
At the very least, if you want something that can tell how strong you are in real chess, then Puzzle rush it is.

What does my score of 57 tell you if Puzzle Rush is "it" as you say? Average time is 1:47 because I took a long time near the end when the puzzles were near 3000 and over.
My previous high was 56, which I managed a month ago, 03 June. It took me about 31 days to eclipse that score.

Chess.com should display puzzle level using something like Roman numerals to indicate that its a different thing, not the rating we got used to

I agree.
But that's a problem because abilities in areas of a game such as solving puzzles should have something to do with real ratings. When you play a real game you are trying to do a puzzle, just in real time.

Why does chess.com allow this? The math is way off unless I was taught the wrong way to add.
63,794 + 5 does not equal to 65,535
I don't understand chess.com

There's a glitch in puzzles that allows you to get a puzzle rating on 65,000+. It's not true strength for the people on the top of the puzzles leaderboard.

In terms of puzzles, puzzle rating is showing you approximately what level of puzzles you can solve. The only problem is that the rating is not comparable to say rapid rating, so a puzzle rated 2800 does not require a 2800 strength player to solve it. It does get confusing sometimes.
I disagree with the OTB rating. If the sample size of games is sufficient, several thousands of games or even tens of thousands of games then it should be a very good indicator of someone's LEVEL of understanding of chess.
Nah. World Correspondence Champions like Purdy knew much more about chess than Carlsen or Fischer or that Russian bloke.
Why did you name last player like this?
