Lets face it...the puzzles were weak and the puzzle rating was vastly over inflated...lets get real now with this new rating system and refined puzzle rating ok?
Lets get back to reality...

Same thing happened to me and my highest rating from yesterday is lower by 1000 in the score than on the graph.

They changed back views because the resistance was big enough

Ok, keep resisting
The same for me: from 2383 to 1640 in 24 hours and without playing!

This is a good change, they shouldn't change it back.
They should have done this a long time ago.
To see how much more sense this makes, look at the current puzzles leaderboard:
https://www.chess.com/leaderboard/tactics
I will remind you under the previous system there were people with puzzle ratings in the tens of thousands.

It was a strong indicator the puzzle rating system had gone completely out of chess.com 's control.
It also didn't work terribly well with the definition of the elo/glicko system.

I'm a bit confused because that's not what your rating history says.

Points not rating, you should know the difference

Did they even change the points system?
I didn't know anyone cared about the points system, frankly I'd have been fine if they removed it entirely.

:FAcepalm. everybody who i know who cares about improvement loves it, and tbh it motivated me to do more puzzles, cuz i wanted to get into legend. Now i understand why some people dont like low rated people in forums

Mine did too!
Randomly, yesterday.
I also can't get the puzzles to work at all at the moment. All other areas of the site are working just fine for me. Is this a bug?

It is not a bug, it is a feature
Mine dropped from 2500 to 1700. Can this be fixed???
That drop is the fix itself
