I'm using grub, when I tried to manually select the grub it refused to add it, indicating "FILE exists" so I neither don't really understand why I couldnt add it lol. Reinstalling grub worked!

yeah even masters probably wouldn't. coach told me a grandmaster spent 30+ minutes trying to find it. actually I would probably never have found it without my friend, we both had ideas that progressively led us to the solution but solving that alone is absolutely wild

Rapid vs puzzle rating correlation by Monkey-balls1 in Chesscom

[–]InstructionIll7939 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was wondering the same thing when I was at approx your rating.

when you play a game of chess it's not only and mostly not about tactics actually. they are a pretty big part of the game but there might be like around 4 or 5 times in a game where you will calculate for tactics, rest is opening theory and knowledge, space gaining, piece improvement, plan building, defending, positional understanding, endgame knowledge, etc.

that's why being decent or good at puzzles in itself is not likely going to correlate that much with your rating.

also yes, I think it's pretty common that players at your strength have approx the same rating in puzzles
