Hello people. I've been on chess.com for many years and I go into the More Puzzles category from time to time when I'm bored or when I don't want to do the stressing tactics trainer. I find it entertaining because some people come with all kinds of original puzzles and funny stuff; I could not really find anything like it on other sites.
Sometimes the threads are really good, but more often than not the threads are filled with awful puzzles that don't work at all and I hate losing my time with it. It is also pretty much impossible to know beforehand if a thread or a puzzle posted is going to be good or not. Sadly, too often I just check the solution instead of trying to solve the puzzle because of my lack of confidence in the poster. However from time to time the puzzle was actually legit and I wish I hadn't checked the solution.
TL;DR What I'm wondering is if there could be a way to increase the average quality of puzzles in this forum.
Absolutely. Why don't you give each one you go through a stamp of approval if you like it or a thumbs down if you don't? I am sure others would appreciate it.
Chess.com is never going to do it on their own.
