Rating system in Tactics Trainer

Hello everybody,

If I do not solve the problem correctly, I almost always lose 14-16 points. Unless I solve the problem IMEDIATELLY after it appears on the screen, I cannot gain 16 points. I mean, what is the point? Even if average solving time is 1:26 and I solve the problem in less (0:35), I do not gain 16 points, only 12. Is not time penalty too much?

"What is the point?"

The point is to improve your chess. Anyone, given enough time, is able use tactics in a game, but with their time penalty, it gives a more accurate representation of where you are at. In any type of chess, the player who can process positions more accurately, more quickly, will always win.

The point, to answer you question, is not to achieve a higher score than anyone else, the point is to improve.

Come on Duniel; you have a 2155 TT rating and you are complaining?  It's 100 points above your turn based rating so you are doing just fine.  Do you have any idea how jealous most of us are of your skill?

Well, I have been 2400+ two weeks ago maybe this is why I am kind of upset. I understand that point is to improve, I would just expect rating system to be kind of reasonable.
