Levels in puzzles

I am thinking that you should put levels in the puzzles section, because that way newer players in chess can have easier problems, and pros should be able to challenge themselves. This should also include a list to go back for easier problems. If the player gets it wrong, you should keep the puzzle the same, so they can retry.

Sincerely,

Every puzzle difficulty is classified by a rating that you can find on top left corner after you solved it or you played a wrong move. Since the player also gets a rating for solving tactics it is obvious that a 1300 player will not get 2000 rated puzzles quite often. For example I am around 1800 now but I've been at 2000 for long time and the least rated puzzle that I can get is around 1550.

"This should also include a list to go back for easier problems"

Below your puzzle board you can find the list of your last 15 puzzles you played. If you click on one you can replay it. Every puzzle is also classified by a code that you can find on top left corner above the rating. If you take note of that you can replay that specific puzzle by writing "lichess dot org slash training slash puzzle code" in the google search bar.

"If the player gets it wrong, you should keep the puzzle the same, so they can retry"

If you get the wrong move you fail the puzzle and lose rating but you can retry all the times you want because the solution won't be shown unless you click on "view the solution" on the right.
