    Even at ~2800 in puzzles I’m sometime faced with mates in one or mates in two that are quite easy. I feel like that score doesn’t mean anything and shouldn’t be compared to real games ELO.

      How is puzzle elo calculated? Guess stockfish just shits on the board and rolls some dice?

        I have no idea.
        Usually, an elo system implies that two individuals are matched together and hopefully end up with a winner and a loser. They might do something similar to rate every puzzle.
        Although last month, they readjusted everyone’s elo to lower it down. I went from 2860 to 1930 from one day to an other. Doesn’t change a thing, but I guess it does feel less inflated now.
