the 1525 is your puzzle rating, and the 1260 is the rating at which a person should be able to solve the puzzle in the target time, eg. 0:19. i hope this helped

What puzzle rating would people be by default(100-1200)? Is a 1200 player in chess , 1700 in puzzles, or higher/lower…?

Puzzle ratings don't really correlate well to playing ratings. They mostly reflect the amount of puzzles you have tried.

The puzzle leaderboard shows one guy with 65,000 points. Do you think he's 20 times as good as Magnus Carlsen?

yeah defiantly more of a rating of how many you have done because as a 600 I had a 2100 puzzle rating. I think the point of the rating is more so "A ___ rated player will actually find this in a game" but the high end of the puzzle rating this kind of falls of ig

I am 1712 in Rapid (chess.com) and 1411 (Fide) and 2200 in puzzles and my best win is against 2097 (chess.com) and 1491 (Fide)

My rapid is 2000 and my puzzles is 2555. I feel like my puzzles rating is lagging behind a bit.

Mainly because I am not subscribed that's probably why.

Subscription is a big thing in chess.com, and for all of the ratings in it.

Got to 2100+ in puzzles within a day or two. Not sure if that is skillful or not. I completed most in seconds or within a minute. I make tons of mistakes because I spend so little time. Even so I hit ~2100. So don't think there's a lot of skill require at lower ratings. I wouldn't be getting a good rating with little of no chess experience or chess puzzle experience. I'm a total newbie. Just relearned the pass pawn rule doing puzzles. Didn't even know all the rules.

Puzzle ratings are very different type of game ratings, due to puzzles have (technically) just one correct solution, vs. in games, you can win multiple ways.

The puzzle rating is not related to playing skill at all.

A true rating requires that all players compete under identical conditions. Players working on puzzles do so in very different conditions. For example, some work on a puzzle for up to 20 minutes or until they solve it: others treat puzzles like a blitz game and move within seconds. Some look for the best solution while others look for a winning continuation even if imay not be objectively best.

The site tries to gauge the difficulty level of puzzles. But there is no clear way to do that accurately.

so, the puzzle rating is more an index of how many puzzles one has completed rather than a measure of playing ability.

Puzzles and actual skill don’t relate. My rapid is 1000 but my puzzles rating was 3100

Puzzles are a skill, they are just a part of the game. Puzzles test your ability to process problems on the fly. You hit the ground running and solve as fast as possible.

In a full chess match you limit the moves your opponent makes. Limit their options and use memory to reduce processing. The best players force you out of memory and into puzzle mode and win via better processing and pattern recognition.

Puzzles are actaul skill based. The idea is after awhile you move on once you start getting the patterns into memory or seeing the way forward via intuition. Also a very important part of the game is tested, consistency.

Remember this is just a part of the game and not the whole experience. A match is likely got other ways of challenging. Like a good opening knowledge etc.

Puzzles are fun for me which is why I started playing them. Rating isn't really important to me but its nice to get higher. Lets me think I'm improving. Tickles my ego alittle if its over 2000+. That there is hope that I might not be an idoit.

Chess.com puzzle ratings frequently do not match a player's true Elo. Chess.com puzzle ratings frequently do not match a player's true Elo. Puzzle ratings for many users are 200–500 points higher than their blitz/rapid Elo. Puzzle ratings should be used in addition to Elo estimates.

Puzzles can be easier because you have the position in your favor and you are always in the winning position. They are really good for the winning position, but are usually only useful for that. Puzzle rush with 3 minutes or 5 minutes is good because you have a time and you want to do as many as possible

You can't compare elo. Elo is true for puzzle's. Each task isn't comparable, elo is true for only the game type you play.

In world of Warcraft PVP for example. Each PVP activity has its own rating. One rating can be higher than the others. This doesn't make the rating wrong because it's higher. It applies to that activity and nothing else.

From wiki, "Elo ratings are comparative only, and are valid only within the rating pool in which they were calculated, rather than being an absolute measure of a player's strength."

Thus, your puzzle rating can be compared to other puzzle players but is only valid for puzzle's. The elo rating has nothing to do with your absolute performance in every game mode.

Elo can be wrong as an absolute measure of performance. In games if someone's elo is lower and they win. You lose more points. If that person is a gm in skill and not in rating. You can keep losing and have a lower rating.

Thus, Elo ratings of various organizations are not directly comparable, since Elo ratings measure the results within a closed pool of players rather than absolute skill. So one website can be higher than another.

Also, Elo can be calculated differently.
