Just starting out to get the hang of chess.com and tried a couple of puzzles...
Seems that if I just click on 'Puzzles' and attempt whatever is thrown at me, then it alters my puzzle rating. But if I go for the 'Custom' option I can try specific types of puzzle / difficulty... but these won't count for my rating. Am I understanding this correctly? Many thanks if anyone can confirm :-)
That is correct. Think of "Custom" as your practice for particular themes you may be struggling with.
