My puzzle rating is 2630 - has been over 2800 - but I have never beaten a 1600 rated player, ever.
You will
I hit 2600 puzzle rating, is that good?

Man I used to have 4125 on my old account. Now I quit doing them. Sad.

I beat a 1600 yesterday in a tournament.
My rank was 1200 at the time. I rarely play and I tanked my rating on purpose
for one of those trophies. I'm climbing back up.
Don't sandbox, it's considered cheating.

Got to 2850 before falling back to 2730. Slump I guess. Some problems are extremely difficult to solve. One puzzle I found a mate in three. My solution was wrong. I chose the wrong mate in three.
