I will wait for a day to see if this is just server error/got fixed before posting for another help. At least I need an explaination why my rating sudden drop.

you prob cheated and they just dropped your elo

Cheating on puzzles? when you pass elo around 3800-4000, they will reuse the same set of puzzle. Sometime you will face the same puzzle tomorrow or within the week. I guess lot of people report my acc or someone discuss about my genuity, cause I got lot of friend request before this happend. Especially from new acc like yours.

You'll need to contact Support using the option in the menu if you want an official answer.

Wow, never seen a puzzle rating of 10 000.

Also interesting stats: 5 min puzzle rush 72 versus 1000 in Blitz/Rapid/Bullet.

Using the Menu > Support, it bring me up to this:

I didn't get any official notice/message but just like @ziganov91 mention, seems like my Puzzle rating has been reset by Fair Play team.

Apart from being a waste of time, is it even against the rules to solve puzzles with the engine?

You and chess.com mod can accuse me breaching the Fair Play policy but I'm not

  • playing chess for living
  • profesional athlet, clearing his name
  • streamer
  • this is just a free account
  • chess as a hobby

so I aint gonna make a stream/video to win that argument. The reason I'm starting this post, my rating drop from 10401 to 400. At first, I thought it a rounding error or something.

dang bro

chess.com accusing bro for being too good at their own website

Isn't it a bit weird to adjust the guy's rating in secret? No email, no message, just a sudden change that may or may not be a bug? It's utterly bizarre.

@magipi that the issue that I'm trying to bring foward in this post. whether I'm cheating or not it up to chess.com and their mod. I got no message or email following up my Puzzles rating reset.

Example: If my Blitz/Bullet/Rapid rating change such as my past opponent closed due to Fair Play, chess.com will give me notice via message.
