Extremely low rated puzzles

I've recently noticed that the last couple of puzzles I've been getting (around last 30 puzzles) have been rated approximately 1000 points lower than my actual puzzle rating, even after turning on Extra Hard mode (current puzzle rating is 3016, most puzzles are around 1900-2050). Is it supposed to be like this? Because I thought that once my puzzle rating goes up, the rating of the puzzles I get goes up, too. Also yesterday, I don't know how to describe this one of the puzzles I got which was a simple mate in one and rated 1800. !?

it was something like this:

last move was Rf1 -> Rd1. it's a free rook capture to a mate in one, 1800 rated, am I missing something? the puzzles seem to be off today and yesterday.

There's a couple of things to more.

First, the site re-rated all the puzzles on the backend so the value shown in the UI isn't the puzzle's actual rating. That should be in an upcoming update.

Second, the site recently added a puzzle Difficulty setting. If you change to Hard or Extra Hard it should increase the average puzzle ratings selected.

@Martin_Stahl before the new difficulty setting update I was reguarly getting 2700-2900 rated puzzles whilst my rating was 3050, around that area, and after the update even after changing the difficulty to Extra Hard the puzzles were still 1900-2000. I thought of all reasonable solutions before making this forum because I don't post without trying every possible solution first. is this a bug or part of the update?

Hi, I'm having the same issue, so I came looking here if anyone had the same issue. I didn't notice the setting option yet, but if it doesn't change a lot like you're saying, what else to do? I'm also quote annoyed, I'm not learning anything from these puzzles anymore. Only 1400s for me, while I'm rated around 2500. Easy mates, easy captures, really annoying.

Another thing @Martin_Stahl didn't mention is, different users are getting differently rated puzzles even if they have the same setting and rating. This is could be also an intended change of the new algorithm or possibly due to chesscom selecting random users to test multiple beta builds of the system.

Having said that, if you change your setting to extra hard, maybe you are lucky and are getting puzzles similar to the old version, but likely you are not. Personally, I am facing the same issues as @paristarr.

This is an example of an "extra hard" puzzle:

my god.. so It's even worse when the hint option is on.

thank you! I thought I was hallucinating or something!

yes! already reported today,don't know if its a bug or not but I want to have puzzles w/a challenge to them!

I believe there were two changes. One is the system using the new updated backend puzzle ratings and the other was the difficulty setting.

There's an upcoming update that will show the new ratings on the UI.

new ratings sounds great thank you for the advice
