Hi everyone,
Maybe there is something like this in previous threads, however...
1) How many tactical problems have you done (solved and/or failed)?
2) Is there any target for number of probs to be solved?
3) What's the source of your problems.
By now I've done 5100 problems on CTS (chess tachtics server). On average I do about 200 - 400 per month.
Regards,

Originally posted by heinzkatBesides that, 1630 is a pretty high rating on CTS especially, if I remember correctly, since wormwood did not start out there doing very well. Its hard to get your rating up if you establish it low.
Because short-term tactical sight has nothing to do with correspondence chess strength, perhaps?

That is not true, I think. Just do the positions correctly and your rating rises considerably! (and do them incorrectly and your rating drops dramatically)

but yeah, 1630 is not bad at all, especially when I'm doing it at roughly 95% accuracy. korch is now 1732, and nakamura 1849.

Originally posted by tomtom232I had solved (and not solved) thousands of CTS problems already there when my rating rose from ~1750 to ~1850 followed by a drop back to ~1700. And it wasn't due to a high RD.

Originally posted by wormwoodI would have to create another account to try that (and I didn't do that).
did you ever try whether you can stay 1600+ for a long time 90%+ session average or not? 🙂 say, for a 1000 try average?
Anyway I regularly get 1600 rated problems and fail just as miserably on those too. I just accept it as it is the concept of the site; failing miserably at only moves. :-)
