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

I am 500 Blitz and my puzzle rating is 1900 lol

So i come to the conclusion is that it doesnt really tell anything xD

I’m currently 1752 in rapid and 1153 in puzzles. I just mess around with them here cause i only get 3 a day. I do them to just kinda get in the mood for playing. Rating on it just goes up and down since i don’t do them here nor do i take them seriously since i’m poor

You can do free puzzles on lichess tho if you want to do more. From my experience the puzzles on lichess are also quite fun.

Their puzzles are often true tactical ones, which correspond with ELO a bit better. Most of the puzzles here are finding mate in 3 moves or less.
Building an ELO rating is not just about being handed a mate in 2 position and being asked to figure it out.

Exactly

you're solving in the 1500-2500 range... they're far more difficult from 3000-4000.

740 USCF (Bottom 1% of all chess players.)

No correlation whatsoever.

There is some correlation. It's certainly not zero correlation.

There are always going to be exceptions, but someone compiled a list of many thousands of users and noticed the trend. I don't remember the average, but I think it was about 800 points difference. Some people will have a higher playing rating than puzzle rating, and others will have a 2000 point higher puzzle rating than playing rating. But those are the exceptions.

I personally think a puzzle rating should be about 1000 points higher than the playing rating, but everyone is different. 800 seems like a reasonable number too.

But my gap is close to 1800.

I would imagine very few people are going to be EXACTLY a thousand points difference. If you are 1800 there are probably just as many who are 200. I'm sure there are quite a few who are even more extreme. There are some who probably have a puzzle rating that's 2500 points higher than their playing rating. And some where both ratings are near identical.

Around 1800-1900 puzzles and 1350-1450 on HIARCS and Shredder (I played a few games vs human players, but don’t play humans anymore due to anxiety issues).

kevinblunder

is it normal to be a 1267 in puzzles if you are an average 800 player?

you could play with chat off if you're concerned about somebody potentially typing hurtful words after a game... although i prefer to follow einstein's advice:

weak people revenge;

strong people forgive;

intelligent people ignore.

chezm87

Rapid 632, Blizz 361 and Puzzles 1666. I tend to stick with solving stuff without opponent any other then the certain given setup, man, I'm too faint hearten, I get way too excited while playing.

Anyhow, I love puzzles.
