Rated puzzles bugged?
Sort:
I've done 1000+ rated puzzles, and reached a rating of around 1500. However, while doing my daily free rated puzzles, the puzzles felt suddenly to be aimed for someone with a rating of around 500. Super easy 1 move check mates back to back, and my rating got pushed by 150 in 10 puzzles.
Has this happened to anyone else? I know the puzzles rating is far from accurate anyway, but this just took away any sense of accomplishment.
Ikr i had that before
Commenting here because I think it's still bugged. My puzzle rating is desynced with my rating in the stats page, and all of a sudden the puzzles are 2000 points below my puzzle rating and really easy. Here's one I got today.
Just reporting same issue. Am a daily user and do the 25 puzzles from my legacy Gold subscription. Rating resets to what it was after refreshing the page and am getting puzzles rated at 100-500 while being rated ~2400 (which I usually get between 1700-2600).

Same here too! I also noticed that the easier puzzles didn't provide a point boost for a correct solution. I'm sitting at ~2100 rating
Also having issues with puzzles not matching rating.
On the mobile app, when I solve a problem, I keep getting a "Request failed: client error (429)" error message. When I try from the website, no matter if I beat the puzzle or fail, the rating does not change.
Super buggy today.

Also a legacy gold member that does 25 daily...seeing it too, here. Reported it as a bug. Suggest others do the same to get their attention.

Came to the forums to see if this precise issue had already been reported. Really irritating. Getting a load of very low-rated puzzles served to me today. I noticed it was glitchy yesterday too. Wake up admins!
I am also getting low rated puzzles, also I'm able to play more than 5 per day without upgrading account

Everyone ->

BUG.
(For those on a computer -> help button in lower left corner)
same issue here
Seems that the issue is due to high server load due to the free rated puzzles event today. There are other threads where a moderator has been saying this. Guess we'll just have to hold tight. Report it as a bug as well, but I think chessdotcom is aware.
same issue here
My puzzle rating isn't increasing, I'm 2700 rated in puzzles, 3000 peak, and I keep "gaining" +5 from these and they're 100 - 600 rated, but the updates don't even count.

Also, My puzzle rating did not change and the whole thing seemed off. Anyone know whats going on? The chess puzzles are like my daily meditation.

This might be related to the puzzle events they have this week. It seems to possibly have turned off rated puzzles, which is why my score continues to increase but my rating is not increasing and the puzzles seem to be easier.

Noting the same behavior. Interesting how the increased puzzle usage affects puzzle difficulty... intentional? Oh well, time to farm some free rating points
