So if you don't know, Chess.com has updated the Puzzle rating system... Kinda hard... So they made it NONSENSE! I just noticed how EXTREME it was, like, I agree to the update cuz they ere a bit too generous about the rating... Like the most of the people had like 1900 or 2000+ though, so i like the idea BUT... It's BRUTA- Okay maybe not brutal but u know- like... For example when you do a tiny little wrong on a NORMAL puzzle... YOU GET AT LEAST 9-!!! But here is the twist!! When you get it RIGHT on a normal puzzle... 3-5+!!!! This is nonsense man

Actually i think it didn’t really changed. They just lowered the value of the puzzle rating. But my peak rating is now literally unreachable. That’s the only thing that’s concerning me. –9 | +3 is actually not a bad score for my experience. I experienced that the balance of solving / failing can be 5 | 1 too.

It’s challenging. Not bad, but not good either.

I dont think that puzzle rating matters, therefore how much the + or - will be in the end is also irrelevant. You are either good at it or not. Nothing changes if you have 3000± puzzle rating or 1500±. So just keep puzzling and be happy

If you want to get more balanced score then go to Settings > Gameplay > Puzzles and select Hard or Extra Hard in the dropdown list

My puzzle rating is over 200 000 but I’m back at Wood 10

What happened there?

I don’t think you and I are playing on the same puzzle page.

Me seeing that you also have a ridiculously high score is not the point. The point is that I am asking why practically anyone can get these scores, and the second question is why did I go down to Wood from elite?

Maybe i misunderstood, but check this out:

Could it be that you "prestiged" and went from elite to stone¹ (Prestige). Because when you finish all of the puzzles in a row from wood to legend, you start anew just with the higher prestige. Just like explained in the link.

Avatar of Ein-Schachspieler

Yes you go to wood after you finished legend and you get prestige. It‘s normal.

I agree that the puzzle gain/lose ratio is dumb. You get -13 when you lose and only +4 when you win. WHAT IS THAT ALL ABOUT

Change the superb puzzle difficulty option and be happy

I can not appreciate the new puzzle rating system. It may be commercial driven, but if so, it has failed to catch me.

Avatar of iPlayChess610

i think its fine. i mean, first, why would care? It's not like if u get past 3000 puzzles u get free admission to Harvard...

In OTB, if u win you get 6. you lose, u get -12. depending if he is ur stage.

It matches the strength of your OTB.

Puzzles are just a training tool

Rating does not mean anything
