Feature Request: Shareable Solvable Puzzles (Without Affecting Rating)

Sort:
WolfOnTheBoard

Hi Chess.com team,

I’d like to request a feature that allows users to share puzzles they encounter while using the Puzzles feature in a way that the recipient can solve them interactively, just like during normal puzzle practice.

Currently, when a puzzle is shared, it opens in analysis mode, which is not ideal. The recipient sees the solution immediately or cannot engage with it in the intended puzzle-solving format.

What I’m Suggesting:

  • A new “Share as Puzzle” option for puzzles we encounter.

  • When shared, the recipient receives the puzzle in a solvable format, identical to the original experience.

  • Solving the shared puzzle should not affect the recipient’s puzzle rating.

  • This would make it easier to challenge friends or discuss interesting positions in a more engaging and intuitive way.

This would enhance the community aspect of Chess.com and encourage collaborative learning.

Thanks for considering this request!

Best,

WolfOnTheBoard
