Haven't done that many of the new puzzles, but from the small sample I've done I gotta say it is a great upgrade from the previous puzzle system. Puzzles organized around themes is a great new feature!
Notice how many times it has been played, the ratings will adjust.
Great job,as as usual guys.
A note on a specific puzzle. #Lw5j9 quite an interesting puzzle, just not so clear cut -it stops at 34.exd7 but after 34...Rxg5 35.Re8 Rg6 36.d8=Q+ Nxd8 37.Rxf8 Bxf8 it's a Queen and a pawn for three minor pieces and white seems better but there is lot's of play, black does seem to be on a verge of a fortress, I'm no expert though could be missing something.

I'd appreciate an automatic message telling me which of my games were turned into puzzles, and which puzzles they are. Reassurance that the mess I made did actually result in a contribution :)
I do not know howbut just reaches 2000 plus in puzzles never ever crossed 1800 before
A great update! Thanks a lot!
Thanks for the update. However, the previous set was better. The puzzles there were more interesting and challenging. With the current one I got served tasks akin to the one used as captcha to post comments! I am not kidding...Perhaps, it is because users did not yet play a lot the new set and did not stabilise the problems' ratings. But as it stands, I am not happy. You sure have more chances to play an interesting problem when before you the problem was played 100K+ and not 50 times, as it is the case now. Lastly, the previous set had a graphic line showing progress. I miss this feature.
Will there be a timer or puzzle rush feature in future?
Amazing!
Put it on Hardest and getting a bunch of 1700-2100 puzzles at 2600 rating. Maybe just need to wait & the system will sort itself out
