Savage is provoking people like that.
@drmrboss More lile I'm trying to keep people in the conversation so that a forum that may actually lead to something doesn't die out.
@SavageAntarctican if you do that you maybe should leave the forum
My puzzle dropped badly yesterday
agreed with @Sarg0n for the most part. I am 2300 FIDE and have been struggling a bit with these lichess puzzles, they require quite a bit of calculation. ( I could probably get to 2600 easily, but it would take quite some time!!) And look at the OPs profile, something is definitely not right. 88/94 yesterday??, and 22/22 today with a blitz rating of 1700.
Argue all you want, but just saying, it doesn't look like an accurate representation.

well, in @LionelMessi2007 s defense, he has a BLITZ rating of 1700. On puzzles you can take as much time as you want. Maybe he is better in long time periods of thinking.
Several hours per exercise - let that sink in.
Ya even for puzzles of ratings lower than mine I still sometimes get wrong I disallowed have to spend at least 15 minutes usually if I want to get them correct if I just rush through likely get them wrong. Hard to imagine someone able to do 94 puzzles get almost all of them correct and only have a 1700 rating
Is Vishy Anand on lIchess
Very often, you have two excellent moves to solve the puzzle, but only one is correct because slightly better.
Unless using a chess engine or really having a high rating, it's not possible to found out the right move.
