Puzzles not increasing in rating as my rating goes up
Sort:
I also noted that puzzle difficulty does not seem to increase with increased puzzle rating.
Chess.com rolled out a new puzzle system 3-4 weeks ago. There is a new setting for puzzle difficulty but there are several comments here that the setting Extra Hard still gives easy puzzles.
@Richard made a comment some days ago that the puzzle system still is a work in progress, and more updates are to come.
You are not alone with your puzzle experience. Why roll out something half-finished is beyond me. There are paying customers who paid just for the puzzles.

No, it's not a bug. It's a planned update

Here's the information from staff.
We are currently working on a significant overhaul of our puzzle difficulty system and puzzle ratings. Over time, the current puzzle rating algorithm created highly inflated puzzle ratings for our members — and consequent inaccurate estimates of a puzzle difficulty. As we roll out our new system, you may see some inconsistencies in your puzzle stats, and rating changes from puzzles solved and missed may be greater than in the past.
We ask you to wait with us just a bit longer! Since in the coming weeks we will be publishing an entirely new rating system for puzzles for all members. We’re confident it will be a major steps towards our ultimate goals:
- Provide a more meaningful rating which correlates more closely to player’s Blitz and Rapid ratings.
- Serve puzzles better suited for each player’s level.
- Offer options to member who are looking for different puzzle-solving experiences.

From the thread’s title: Puzzles not increasing in rating as my rating goes up
That cannot be part of the update to getting the same rated puzzles, even if your rating goes up. If you raise your puzzle rating you should be given harder puzzles, right?
Imo, it is things like this topic that should be forward to the developers.

Where is this from?
I'm 2400 and I literally get nothing but 1500 rated puzzles over and over. I rarely get any wrong and can get 20 in a row right solving each one within 10 seconds....Is it bugged, is chess.com messing with me?
