As the title reads, I brought down my puzzle rating. Not only did I bring it down from 1,400 to 0. I did it on purpose. I got irritated because they kept giving puzzles above my rating and skill. Highest puzzle solved was 1500. Why is the skill level not adjusting when I don't successfully complete one? They got MORE difficult as I failed. I got tired of focusing on the rating and wanted to focus on the puzzle. I think having a puzzle rating is bad for the mental side of the game and improving. I'm going to experiment and see if the system still gives me 1500 level puzzles even though my rating is now 0.

The system should give you post puzzles +/-400 of your puzzle rating.

I see. I'm still going to start from the bottom again. They don't reinforce particular puzzles multiple times that I end up not remembering. All the hard ones end up being completely different kinds of solutions. The only puzzle that comes up multiple times over and over is the back rank check mate. I wish the difficulty was a slower gradual increase.

My experience is that somehow the 1500 puzzle range is somehow harder than high level in a ridiculous way. (I'm at about 3300 right now). I've always noticed this... don't know why it is.

I actually gained my rating back in literally 1 day after going to 0. They start to get harder around 1200. I'm just now getting ready and close to hit 1500. Trying to get 2000 minimum. Some lower rating puzzles did seem harder than the higher rated ones.
