Revert Puzzle Difficulty Setting

27 puzzles in a row... Series ended on a missclick... This is not fun...

This change ruined the experience.

Bring back puzzle difficulty going up based on rating please. It doesn't make any sense here I'm 2600 and get 1700 puzzles it's boring as hell.

I don't have anything new to say but am leaving a comment to reinforce all the negative feedback. I will not be renewing my subscription if they don't fix the puzzles.

I wholeheartedly agree. Why in the world did they get rid of difficult puzzles? I actually reset my puzzle history thinking it must be because im a beta tester. However, I dropped out of beta, and reinstalled and getting frustrated that I am getting back to 2500 (1800 currently) and keep getting 1400-1500 puzzles. It never gets harder than that. This is so stupid! I might also agree with dropping mu subscription. Chess.com--how about less export and money tourneys and concentrate on what got your popularitu...chess.

The new system is a mess. I set the slider to extra hard and it's still giving me 100% easy puzzles. Mate in 1, or a hanging queen. I'm up to 3300 now and the value that I used to place on improvement is now meaningless. I pay for a premium membership bc I got so much out of tactics trainer, back when it worked.

How much time they need to fix that primitive problem? As software developer I can't imagine what is happening in chess.com corporation. Additionally I can't understand why they add choose difficulty option only on web, not on mobile app. This is insane

I want to support you guys. Rating was a source of pride. Now anyone can solve a bunch of low-rating puzzles and come out on top, what the hell?

Even at hardest difficulty, puzzles don't go above 1600-1700 in rating despite my rating climbing. That makes for an unsatisfying and frustrating experience. It's also impossible to do anything through the support, so here's hoping this works.

I guess we have to keep these threads up until there is some sort of reaction?

I'm done with chess.com puzzles until they sort this out.

Meanwhile, I'm enjoying Chess Tempo for advanced puzzles. They seem more challenging, and the user interface isn't as polished, but they also have years of active discussion on many puzzles. The app also works fine.

(Oh, and Chess Tempo has a difficulty option that actually works)

Same here.
Just cancelled my subscription, because Puzzle was the main reason I got it in the first place.
Let's see where it goes, but we're really far from an improvement...

Has anyone else noticed that the % pass rate / # attempts that's shown after completing a puzzle is also broken? It's been showing incorrect stats 100% of the time, for about 6 months now. (The only way to see the correct stats is to click on a puzzle's permalink.) I reported this as a bug but got no reply.

I noticed that too some month ago. @Martin_Stahl keeps mentioning the puzzle ratings have been reevalutated in the backend, but the correct stats aren't shown, and "there should be an update in the near future" to display them correctly. So, I figured the pass rates you see when you go to the specific puzzles, are probably the values after/since the reevaluation.

Does anyone know the official explanation for why this was done? Maybe someone reached out to support or read something on the dev blog. Do they ever actually communicate with users about what would be good for us?

Yeah. Why would they make this adjustment?

I absolutely hate the change. I was peak 2800, now I am getting 1400 puzzles. I switched to very hard, and they are only 1700-1900 puzzles. 
If anyone is looking for solid tactics, go to chesstempo. I cancelled my membership here over this change.

OH MY GOD so glad I found this thread. This change has been horrendous. 2000+ rated in puzzles and I have gotten 20 1300 rated puzzles in a row. This change is awful, and absolutely needs to be reverted
Edit: in fact I am done using this website unless this is reverted. the enshittification of chess.com continues..

Actually, there are many similar threads about superb changes in puzzles

This is something I got from staff to share.

We are currently working on a significant overhaul of our puzzle difficulty system and puzzle ratings. Over time, the current puzzle rating algorithm created highly inflated puzzle ratings for our members — and consequent inaccurate estimates of a puzzle difficulty. As we roll out our new system, you may see some inconsistencies in your puzzle stats, and rating changes from puzzles solved and missed may be greater than in the past.

We ask you to wait with us just a bit longer! Since in the coming weeks we will be publishing an entirely new rating system for puzzles for all members. We’re confident it will be a major steps towards our ultimate goals:

 - Provide a more meaningful rating which correlates more closely to player’s Blitz and Rapid ratings.

 - Serve puzzles better suited for each player’s level.

 - Offer options to member who are looking for different puzzle-solving experiences.

Hopefully what they say is correct
