Puzzle and Rating disparity

Sort:
GdsGd
I just came back to playing chess but I like playing puzzles more, however I don't know how that converts in elo. Right now, I just got 2100(i think) in puzzles(lichess) but I am like 900-1000 rapid right now(maybe who knows, I haven't played much yet). I don't know what to do in the opening, like right now I really have no idea yet.

Yes. Many if not most people have such a disparity. (I haven't seen any actual chess.com statistics but yours is a common observation here on the forum.)

We realize that the puzzles rating is not the same thing as a playing rating and that a rapid rating is not the same as a blitz rating or a bullet rating and that lichess ratings are generally inflated compared to chess.com ratings until you get up to the 2200 level.
