I reached 2000 but now they are too hard. I barely can solve a few in half an hour. Mostly i can't and fall back to 1900~ again.
My question; is it an efficient way? for my pattern recognition? seeing just a few in an hour?
Isn't this counter productive
Recognition comes with repetition.
Recognition comes with repetition.
So that's what i have asked. I don't do much repetation when they are that hard, is this really an efficient method?
for 1 hour;
Which one is better?
Just did a puzzle rush > survival
I do that before i play a live game for warming up. And survival rush starts from the lowest rated puzzles. Goes up and up till you fail 3 times..
I realized those hard ones cooked me up, I found many puzzles too easy this time. Realized that i'm not jumping on a capturable piece like i used to.. because in hard puzzles it is always wrong 
Maybe I've found my own answer.
Use logic and you're good
Really though, just do more puzzles and you'll get better at pattern recognition as Martin said
if you just do them a lot 2000+ rated puzzles won't be as hard =/
i've been stumbling between 2100-2475 for around 3ish months now don't worry lol

Is that a rainbow finch in your picture? or is it a duck.. probably none of them 
yeah i think i'm getting use to hard puzzles, my habbits are changing.. my first reactions. I have to keep calm and think twice otherwise i fail. Maybe this is the way.
it's a mandarin duck lol
yes thinking twice is always the way to go. analyze the whole board before you make any move by instinct
Your doing very well speed comes naturally with practice atleast you can solve them

You have to do both, eventually. Your state of mind when doing puzzles can also play into it as well, where you just can't see anything good. What's best is something that is going to be different for each person but I think being exposed to more patterns and studying the solutions when you get them wrong, will eventually get you to seeing them faster.
How much you do is up to you and your tolerance.

You’re doing great!
Maintain the effort and build good habits from the puzzles and translate it your live games.
Just don’t over do it because it will stunt your concentration and stamina for live games but at the right amount, I find it’s a great warm up before tournaments.
3600 puzzles pb, 72 survival:
3000+ they start to get hard... 3500+ they crush minds; i once spent 3 days solving a 3800 puzzle.
stick with lots of puzzle rush if you're looking to improve your pattern recognition (chess cardio):
my pbs are 30 (3 min) & 40 (5 min) with no errors.
puzzles & survival mode are like strength training that improve your skills of assessment, reasoning, calculation, evaluation, discernment, blunder-checking, thoroughness & mental fortitude. 🙂

What about with errors?
After a lot of puzzle battle I'm not sure if I'm your strength in tactics yet...hmmm...

I feel that learning from repetitions are pre-requisites for higher level puzzles which require a mix of the same old ideas.
For Kayu27, he might start with lots of easier ones first to build up his pattern recognition, with probably one or two hard puzzles chipped into the mix, assuming mixing of puzzle difficulty is possible (because I don't think that could be done in rated puzzles on this site). He can then increase the percentage of hard puzzles dished out once he is ready.

since puzzles & survival mode are untimed, you are able to exit/return to the same one whenever you like with no penalty (just don't 'quit' survival mode);
the harder puzzles often require over a dozen moves to solve (every branch of every line must be foreseen in advance), which explains their difficulty level. 🙂

your 38 (3 min) score is excellent... i could improve my 30 if i wanted to, but i'm burnt out on rush after hitting my goals & i like the round numbers. 🙂
