Are there any updates about fixing the puzzle algorithm? This current version is making it barely worth playing, and not reflective of much learning or effort potential.

Hey @ArcticTroy, hear you on that.

The puzzle algorithm changes have been a big talking point lately. A few of us have noticed similar things, especially with how rating gains/losses don’t always seem to match the effort or difficulty of the puzzle.

The devs may still be fine-tuning things under the hood. In the meantime, I’d recommend sharing specific examples (puzzle IDs, rating swings, etc.) with Chess.com Support - they do pass that kind of feedback to the team.

Hopefully, we see a more balanced update soon, the puzzle community is one of the best parts of the site when it’s working as intended ♟️
