Hi,
I would like to know how is the Puzzle Storm ELO determined. I have around 1850 on normal puzzles, and no matter how many combos I do, my max puzzle rating on Storm is always around 1150.
Apologies if this was already asked.
@Dardyb Think of it that way (in general):
In "slow play" ( =endless time) you solve puzzles on a level of about 1850 puzzle rating.
In "fast play" ( =time restricted by puzzle storm) you of course are performing significantly worse.
In reality the numbers can't be 100% compared, since you don't get punished with less time left, if you solve a "slow play" puzzle wrong (which would probably lead to a decrease of your overall puzzle solving rating).
Puzzle storms start with puzzles rated just over 1000, and the rating increases rather slowly. Your maximum score is 20 puzzles, at least 50 would be needed get a puzzle rated around 1850. But as @derkleineJo has already mentioned you are not expected to get anywhere near that, even I have trouble reaching a score of 50.
If you want to see how this is implemented, look at https://github.com/lichess-org/lila/blob/master/modules/storm/src/main/StormSelector.scala.
