New Puzzle Mode Missing

Does the new puzzle modality create an Elo rating like the original … it’s not apparent yet but does it eventually provide one after progressing further… this would have been the first thing I would have mentioned in an intro explanation… does such an intro and advanced explanation of this system exist?

How do I find the puzzle mode where I start with all white pieces, I can only move each piece twice before they turn black and the king has to win with no other pieces on the board

When I try puzzles in the app, it shows me how to solve and then crashes. Repeated this three or four times and then did my solving in the browser.

Supposedly something is new in puzzles. Any news anywhere about what?

There is the Puzzle Journey feature and the first puzzle has a tutorial and it should only run in the first one. If you're seeing issues in the app, make sure you're on the newest version.

I am in the newest version. It worked this morning after crashing multiple times yesterday.

I had become attached to the graph at the bottom. Change is not always good, especially when the main purpose is to add more features that do not improve the training value of something I value.

I’ll get used to it now that it works.

If staff reads this, may I request that when rolling out major changes, they should write an article that explains simply what is new and what got eliminated. That would smooth out some transitions for us geezers.

You can disable the new feature by clicking the settings icon and toggling off Collect Puzzle Points

I believe there was a minor issue so it was rolled back. Should start rolling out again soon.

Correct. It's in Beta and a subset of other members may have it and it should start rolling out site wide soon.

The coding between apps and website is fundamentally different. That said, staff are aware of that possibility and likely will have that loophole fixed at some point

@martin_stahl yes I know is why i ask in support to have desktop team sync with cell phone team as the development of any working app can be that of same in desktop ... cant wait till that is fixed happy.png
