Why my chess puzzle rating dropped a lot out of no where?

Honestly I do like the new puzzle rating system but it's always +2 or +3 I never got more than this and if you lose one it's -25 or -30 this makes gaining rating in puzzle extremely hard especially for people without the diamond subscription bcs I don't have diamond subscription and I used to solve my 3 free puzzles regularly every day without missing a day and I finally got 2000 rating and just after that I got a -500 I was ok with that minus but the minus we get after losing one puzzle is enormous I think chess. Com can either increase free puzzle from 3 to 5 per day or reduce the minus after losing a puzzle like -15 or -20 is good.

On balance, I think the new puzzles rating is a fairer reflection of your actual ability.

I've changed my settings difficulty to "Hard" so that if/when I do get one wrong, my rating doesn't plummet like a stone.

On the new standard difficulty setting, you only get 3 or 4 pts for a correct solution but you lose like 16-18 for getting one wrong. So a couple of wrong solutions and you need to solve like 15-20 in a row just to get back to where you were.

Now that I've changed the difficulty settings to "hard" I'm actually enjoying it more now because when you get one wrong, you only drop about 8pts or so

Oh that's a nice trick we can enjoy learn and also not get mad by seeing our rating drop. I want to ask your permission that can I make a new forrum telling how to regain rating after this update and mention you method.

Use extra hard puzzles

They're quite easy

thank you chess.com for negating all progress I have made in the last year.

You haven't lost more than 13 in the last 25 puzzles you've completed. You shouldn't see any much higher than that since the update.

As mentioned, you might try Hard or Extra Hard difficulty instead.

hi

Almost 2000 points out of the Super happy with the recent changes, seems fair. Thank you Chess.com!
