2024 Daily Chess Championship - Round 2

Good morning chess players!

In the second round of Daily Chess Championship 2024, tactical elements appeared quite often in my games. Usually these weren't complicated things, but based on them I prepared a Quiz with 15 puzzles. I assigned an estimated level to each task in the form of a ranking. You can think of it as a Rapid Ranking (10 minutes per game or 15+10). Since I have a good understanding of the level of play related to ranks 300, 500, 1000...  I think the assignment will be relatively objective.

Because there are 15 total problems, treat this Quiz as a 15-round Puzzle Tournament . Then count how many tasks you solved correctly. If you managed to solve, for example, 10, your Puzzle Tournament score is 10 points out of a possible 15.
The average ranking of all 15 tasks is ideally 1000 .
