Estimated Elo of a player vs puzzle rating?

Doootsie

I am 733 rapid currently and 1911 in puzzles. I like puzzles more than actual games because I'm less stressed and anxious. tongue.png I really want to get to 1000 rapid so I am hoping puzzles will help with that. I am noticing that I see things faster in games now too like what pieces are working together to attack or defend.

Hello guys, my chess.com puzzle rating is 3200. But I want to know that is it good or no? and what is my fide strength?

technical_knockout

have a 3633 puzzle pb here:

you can't quite compare 2000 puzzles with the 3800 ones, as they are two completely different levels of difficulty... i'm sure that solving so many of them has been extraordinarily beneficial for my general chess proficiency & heartily suggest this training to anybody interested in improving their pattern recognition, analysis, candidate move selection, calculation, evaluation, move horizon, problem solving, perseverance & blunder checking skill levels.

well, i´ve also notice an improvement based on doing puzzles nearly to everyday on my rapid games, nowdays i dont play that much rapid, but i tryed n i often feel like i could destroy nearly anyone on my elo rating.

1st thing:

Lichess: high game ratings low puzzle ratings

Chess.com: high puzzle rating low game rating

Two very different sites.

2nd thing:

I'm 2600 in puzzles and have reached 2800 before; I think the 65000-rated guy was using a script to solve those puzzles. I don't know if you can get banned by using a comp on puzzles, as they really mean nothing.

3rd thing: to calculate online ratings:

Chess.com games: IRL rating + 100 = online rating (any time control)

Chess.com tactics: IRL rating +1300-1500 = puzzle rating

Lichess games: IRL rating + 1100 = online rating (bullet is +1000 only)

Lichess tactics: IRL rating + 500-900, depending on how good at tactics you are.

4th thing (this is a long post xD):

Chess.com puzzle rush: (Chess.com puzzle rating/100) + or - 5.

If you're 3000 puzzle rating you should have 25 - 35 puzzle rush (3 min).

 

If you're reading this, thanks for your time happy.png sorry if it was long

Wow that’s pretty accurate in my case:

Chess.com rapid 1400, puzzles 2600

Lichess 1600 rapid

OTB 1500

It's lose, not loose.

1200-2000 to me is a very respectable level of puzzles

Because chess is more demanding then puzzles. For example in a normal game you have a limited time to think, have to do moves that are quite, example moves that don’t win on the spot but makes the position better. In puzzles you are allready are in a winning position but in a normal game you start in a even position and it is your job to try to get a winning position.

I've tickled 2100 in puzzles, down to 1800 again, only due to not working out the lines properly. Too much rushing leads to bad technique. I view myself as a solid 800 player now in rapid, so in my view puzzles help but don't automatically raise ones game unless they are approached with discipline, that then transfers over when calculating lines. I'm not there yet, but it's coming 😈

I am watching your ongoing game, you are playing black. You played f6 early which is most times not a good move because it open up your king. Now your opponent do not seem to punish you. Also you opponent did develop fast and castle while you moved your knight over and over. So you had one piece developed while you opponent had a lot of pieces developed. Now since he don´t punish you it might be hard to learn why it is bad for you to play like this.

Here for you I would recommend to watch Naroditskys speedrunserie on youtube. Because he will teach you about things like tempo, how to develop and how to punish bad moves.

So when I type to you it is not to roast you, more to lift your weakness. What you can do now after the game is look at the analyse tool.

Now by move 9 your opponent was +4 which means you have failed the opening and your opponent is now winning. That is if he find the moves to do so.

If i was your opponent I would try to play e5 even if it would lose a pawn, because what he at least to my understanding should do when is ahead in development is to strike in center and open up an attack on your king. Then it will be hard for you to defend since you have only a knight developed.

I hope this gives you some ideas that might help you in the future.

I'm currently trying to play 25 puzzles daily and 1 match per day.

 

I think it's a good way to get better at chess with minimal time

I'm 2900 puzzles and 860 rapid...

Puzzles and games are quite different. In games there's time pressure and you can't abort a game without losing rating points (assuming few moves were played already). And another example, in puzzles you know that there's a winning tactic, but in games you don't. Tactics are definitely important in games, but it's not everything. And finally the number of people solving puzzle is not that high. (Image below) 

So answering the question.. I think it really depends on the player. As far as I see, the correlation is just that high game rating most likely means high puzzle rating (by how much? not sure.) For some people the difference is 2100, 200, -300, or even 64000.

I'm between 2000 in puzzles and 600 in rapid and blitz. There is very little correlation.
