I am getting 1900 level puzzles when my puzzle rating is 3150. I put the setting to extra hard but it didn't help. Please tell how to get real puzzles. I'm getting M1s.

I was looking for this thank you. Its the same for me, 3200 puzzle rating yet I'm getting puzzles in the 2000s and mate in 1s?!

I have same problem. Around 3000 and only 1700-1800 rated puzzles. Before I was not good enough for 3000, now I got it easy since I am only getting low rated puzzles. I have the difficulty to extra hard in the settings, but this did not make the puzzles harder, perhaps even easier. DEVS DO BETTER

There have been some updates, including a puzzle Difficulty setting.

This is something I got from staff to share.

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.
