Just picked this up from another thread, in case you missed it. chesstempo.com is a new site quite like Chess Tactics Server, except without its flaws. Classical and blitz choice of time element. Also keeps track of ratings. Check it out. Maybe somebody had a thread about it before, but i missed it.

the board is just as small as on CTS, the problem set is a lot smaller and riddled with incorrect and ambiguous solutions, and the rating system has inflated a full 1000 pts already in the past few months. if the inflation keeps steady, the ratings will break 5000 before next summer.

I have recently tried this Chess Tempo deal. I like the interface and the fact the board is bigger than CTS. However, after one hour I managed to get my rating up to 2100. On CTS it is 1600. Great site but I would ignore the rating and just enjoy the problems.

I would have thought that if your cts rating is 1600 then your rating here would be quite a bit higher than your current under 1000 rating. I find it quite hard to get my rating up on cts partly because you have to be fast to get a positive score.
