I use to do puzzles around 2500 rating, then for 6 months i did puzzles on another place, then i came back and these puzzles are SOO HARD, i should be like 2600, but instead i leave im like 2200, by the way i leave it unrated cause I don’t want to lose so much rating
Nice to know. I should start doing puzzles more often then.
Being 2500+ at puzzles and 1700 in blitz doesnt feel right.

I suck at blitz, I love rapid
I’m 2000 at rapid (: but only 1800 blitz tho, puzzles getting weird, they have these unpredictable answers and everything, they should have a rating 2800
The weirdest solutions
Lichess puzzles are very very weird. I would suggest doing problems from books which are written by masters instead of computers. The woodpecker method is a great place to start.
The rating of the puzzles is calculated based on the puzzle rating of the users that solve them. If a lower-rated user gets a puzzle and sees a check or capture and plays it without calculating and it just so happens to be the right move, they might end up getting credit for the puzzle, even though they didn't calculate all the important variations to the end. In fact, recently I couldn't figure out one of the variations to a puzzle so I just played the move and figured it out as I went, and of course it was the right answer, so I'm helping to add to the problem too.
... of course ... LOL
These puzzles are great I think. I did tons of pawn ending puzzles to improve my calculation on lichess and technique as well which helped.
Im 1900 blitz 2400 puzzles
