Chess Puzzles Points gained and lost.

I've been playing a lot of puzzles lately. Today I have noticed that the points gained or lost are a lot different to what normally occurs. Most of the puzzles I have solved with various difficulties I have been awarded only 5 or 6 points where has points gained before were often 10, 11, 12 points etc. Losses have shot up too in some instances to 17 or 18 points lost where has 15 used to be the maximum.

I just wondered if anyone else has noticed this too.

You've been getting low rated puzzles, compared to your rating. One other member has mentioned that. I just did a batch checking to see if I could recreate the issue but couldn't. 

 

Since the puzzles are a lot lower rated, you get a lot less for solving and lose more on failures.

 

I'm going to mention it to staff, as there may be a puzzle selection bug.
