How can i reset my Puzzle rating?

I currently have a puzzle rating of 1500. I would like to start all over, just to see how I perform. Will I be able to achieve 1500 again? How long will it take me?

At the moment, the only thing I can do is setting the difficulty to easy, make a wrong move, click on view solution, continue, repeat. That is quite cumbersome. A simple reset button would be really helpful.

Edit, to get down to a 600 rating, I had to do this 65 times .... *sigh*

This is very wrong and dangerous as you are artificially changing the level of the puzzle making it problematic for users who will face the same puzzle in the future.

There is no way to reset your puzzle rating. A workaround would be to stop playing puzzles for a while, let's say one or two months, so that your RD gets high enough for your rating to become provisional again.

So, you have a puzzle rating of 1500, and you want a way to reset it to the initial value of 1500? Hmmm.

No, I want to reset it to the lowest value possible, which is 600.

Well, looks like such a feature should be implemented then. Because I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who does this.

Btw, what's RD? Research and Development?

When you say "reset it" you imply that the starting rating is 600, while it is 1500?.

> Btw, what's RD?

Rating Deviation, the formula that calculates how stable your rating is in a given variant.

Ok, wasn't aware of that. I thought it's possible to start from the bottom. At least that's what happenes to a lower rated player. You start at 1500, and then drop down to 800 or something, because you're a beginner. That mechanism implied to me that I started at a way longer rating than 1500, to which I wanted to reset to.

@Bob-8000 You could use the Chessvis app - there you can always start where you want: lichess.org/@/Alakaluf/blog/chessvis-a-different-chess-app/61A4CRmk
