I have been trying to understand how the ratings are calculated in the tactics trainer. Lately it seems that when I get a tactic correct I get one point but if I make an incorrect move I get up to -16.
I feel that even though I am understanding the tactics better my rating is steadily getting worse. Should I believe the rating and if so how can I improve it? Any insights would be appreciated.
You are worried about what's fair? Who is judging you on your tactics score? In the meantime, do not miss gimmies and do not miss simple mates-- the machine doesn't like that! And of course you get hit hard for missing-- how many mistakes does it take to lose a game or to put you in a hopeless position? As the I Ching says, Perseverance Furthers!
