Puzzles No Longer Showing “Puzzle Goal” On Phone

Avatar of MagMalol
For the longest time, I have always had puzzles showing their goal (eg. win a rook, checkmate, etc) on my phone. For some of my mates theirs didn’t show on their phone cause they didn’t update their settings on PC. But now, my settings on PC have remained the same and now it is “de-synced” on my phone. Anyone had the same issue? Know a potential fix?

Glad to hear i am not the only one with this issue, on a side note, after deleting the app and reinstalling i am now able to actually manually adjust the difficulty on my phone, still no luck with the "goals" though.

It is annoying as I quite often like to chill down doing some puzzles before bed, something I can't really do on my computer to wind down.

I recently did I puzzle on the site, and was shocked that it told you what the puzzle was about.

See, my settings have always synced up on my phone too and told me what the puzzle was about. Granted I will say it is making me think more on my puzzles, but it is just odd that all of a sudden out of nowhere my puzzles settings have changed on my phone.

The puzzle goal is a weird anti-feature - not sure why you’d want it other than because you’ve become habituated to it, which is a bad thing…

I can definitely understand what you are saying, i do think for pure practice, yes, it is better. But with that being said, I have always had it there and it just feels odd to not anymore.

I came to the site after many months of absense and found out that after solving the puzzle I can't define the tags.

That was a vary good and helpful feature which is missing very much during the training process. It helped me improve my trainig.

I could see puzzle objectives on my iPhone but they disappeared a couple of months ago, though I can still see them on my laptop.

Is there some way to contact chess.com to ask them how to resolve this issue?

You 100% can on computer, just go into settings (while in puzzles) and turn on puzzle goals

Thank you, but I want to see the themes of the puzzle which I could also define myself, not the goal by the coach.

I recall toggling off the puzzle description/guide (David telling the solver what the puzzle is about) in settings
