Saving puzzles for future study

Sort:

I believe solving puzzles is good practice, but when I have trouble with a particular puzzle there should be an easy way to flag it for future practice. I know I can download the pgn and clutter a directory with puzzles, but it would be VERY useful if there was a button I could click to have the puzzle added to an online list I could re-study at will.

You mean something like a bookmark?

You have done 21,000 puzzles. You could have 1,700 bookmarks and then you'd want to sort them by theme or by rating.

That sounds fairly difficult.

I second this idea. Sometimes we want to restudy certain puzzles.

Having a bookmark feature or for saving puzzles would be a very useful feature.

I second as well... I would love to see such a feature. Any other way to do it?

Not currently. The site is working on a Library feature that could be used to store a collection of puzzles, though I don't know if you'll be able to solve as puzzles in that; it may just be a collection of the PGNs.

Ok, good to know. Thank you for your answer.

I'm bumping this to second the ability to save puzzles with one or two clicks. 

And in the meantime, an (inelegant) workaround:

-Create a collection at chess.com/library

-Paste each png you want to save manually.

It works for puzzles.  You can also get to the library through chess.com/games/archive/[yourusername] and click the button on the side

I put in a Suggestion for that.

Ok, I have wanted this feature (saving my favorite puzzles) for years. I eventually started paying chesspuzzles.net   They have a ton of puzzles and you can save them in folders which you can name like backrank, mate in 4, etc.... And their puzzles are tough! I recommend but it would be great is chess.com could provide that feature since I also pay chess.com. Thank you.

I too second the feature request for bookmarking puzzles. For now, here is a way to save puzzles by bookmarking them in the browser: Copy the puzzle number to the clipboard and then bookmark the URL: chess.com/puzzles/problem/yourpuzzlenumber

as a software developer, I can assure you that this is not fairly difficult
